the well be a terrific little movie and and a bold one for 1951. it take one of the very early look at racism and how it can . and do in real life in the next decade . tear apart a community and ultimately a nation . obviously make on a shoestring budget by mostly unknown . some of those involve in the making of this film and i believe and later be blacklist in hollywood during the red baiting mccarthy era that soon follow . the suspense be relentless and some scene be heartbreaking . an obscure and near masterpiece . it deserve to be see on any level and judged and for the most part and by the standard of it day . use that yardstick and perhaps it actually deserve a 10. unfortunately and i doubt many people have see or hear of this film . hey and i would love to have a copy of this movie .
