a a boy grow up in the 1950 south be surround by racial and religious prejudice ( my father make archie bunker seem like a bleeding heart liberal . ) i remember be impress and educate by see two great little film . the well be one and storm warning be the other . both be make in 1951. i guess you could say that storm warning be an a movie a it feature ginger rogers and ronald reagan and and doris day a the star . the well be definitely a b movie and but it subject matter give it a step up on most of the b movie of the time . keep in mind that this be a period in time in which people go to double feature and the local movie house and drive in a television be just an infant and not available except to a few . b movie be generally low budget film crank out for more or less mindless entertainment . the plot be pretty standard . a little black girl be on her way to school and wanders into a field to pick some flower where she fall into an abandon well . the search for the little girl be begin . a man in town to visit his uncle a rich and powerful businessman who be see talk to the girl come under suspicion . a he be grill by the police and the uncle storm into the station and demand his release to no avail . a the uncle be leave the station and he be question by the little girl father who have hear of the nephew . there be a scuffle and and the uncle fall and be injure . a news of the incident be spread and embellish with false rumor and all hell break loose . just a the town be on the verge of an all out racial riot and a boy rush in to announce that he have discover the little girl thing next to the well . from that point on and all the town energy be concentrate upon save the little girl . the uncle provide heavy equipment from his business and and the nephew who just happen to be a mining expert be convince to save the day . all of this be carry out in over the top b movie melodramatic fashion support by just about every 50 cliché character include the strong lawman leader while his sensible love interest while the businessman who run the town while the pleading and helpless mother while the racially biased beat cop while and young people of both race who run rampant destroy property and beating on each other . so why the eight star . the time . the content . the message . since the beginning of film and movie maker have strive to bring education to their audience through entertainment . this film surely deserve recognition for demonstrate the evil of racial prejudice and rumor in an effective and entertaining fashion .
