i saw this film a few time a a kid back in the 60 or 70 . i remember it a pretty good for it time . i also remember harry morgan from dragnet a be the only cast member i recognize then or now . i be mostly catch up in watch how supposedly reasonable people in the grip of panic and impatience and and uncertainty make assumption and point finger and cast blame and and jump to conclusion . misunderstanding pile up on top of each like a 10 car highway accident and push the town closer and closer to a dreaded race riot while the actual victim plight seem all but forgotten . for it time and i be sure this movie be a bold move . it a shame it hasn not be broadcast again recently . it definitely worth a look .
