This should be in the public domain, available for all! Not only the subject and the way it's treated but the way it's filmed, the dream sequences, the lights, the acting direction...are a true lesson for directors!
I just caught it in Grio today. It's unfortunate that it's still relevant today 😔 Glad to see others have discovered Grio, as well. Great new addition to OTA broadcast.
I first saw this movie,in High School,when my teacher rented it,on VHS,for a class I was in! Most of the class was bored stiff,watching an old movie. Not me! I loved it! One of my favorite actors,SIDNEY POITIER,was in it! Along with COLUMBO's PETER FALK (whom,I ran into,in adulthood,years later),and the "SPLISH,SPLASH" guy,BOBBY DARIN! This movie,though controversial,for its time & even now,I believe, is worth viewing! GO SEE IT!!!
I stuck with it even with all the distortion of sight and sound. Not only was it worth it as entertainment, but I feel like my humanity was strengthened.
I decided to watch this today after watching an old game show with Bobby Darin as a guest celebrity. The host (married to betty white), talked about this , then New movie, saying he thought Bobby deserved an academy award for his role. I checked it out and it is a he'll of a movie. I would think a great teaching aid. The audio was ridiculous.
Pressure point and and earlier movie where he played a visitor on a crazy captain’s naval ship(I cannot remember the name) were the only movies where I enjoyed Poitiers acting. I always felt he overacted a bit. To me, Poitier had his best work here. Throughly enjoyed it. Bobby Darin was awesome here too.
I agree with my fellow viewers. Please Ms Eric, can you reissue this upload. Falk, Poitier and Darin should never be heard like this. Please try again. Thank you.
I faintly recall seeing it on TV as a kid in the late 60s. I barely remember it except for some scenes with Bobby Darrin and Sidney Poitier. I don't remember the high pitched voices thought. I wonder if Disney somehow got the rights and dubbed all the actors with a Mickey Mouse voice.....
I watched this movie late last nite the first time and it was very educational. I feel like in some situations these days life has not changed for the better. I am still hopeful.
One of my favorite Sidney Poitier Performances. I never knew that Teen Idol Bobby Darin was such a good actor. I hope he received acclaim for this role. He was Great. I know the sound track was off, but I watched it anyway because I saw it many times and this is a realistic film and well made. Stanley Kramer is a Great Director.
Oh, no! I read the comments before watching and see that the voice issues have not yet been corrected. I know the theme of this movie is serious and seemingly timeless - and to watch Peter Falk enter after that dramatic sounding music only to open his mouth and sound like this? I am sorry that I laughed out loud for more than a few minutes -- it is just so contradictory having cartoon voices with the subject matter. I hope it was an accident...better luck next time. Oh- wait! I just heard Bobby Darin come on the screen while I was down here typing and when I heard that cackling laugh, I wondered what bimbo was in this movie...imagine my surprise to scroll up and see him standing there. Without seeing it, the sound alone is rather comical. Maybe some stoners will have a good time watching this. :) As for me - I am off to watch the next upload of this. This sounds like Saturday morning cartoons from the next room. :)
As Slim Pickens says in "Blazing Saddles": "What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a-going on here ?" Did every actor in this movie go to the Alvin & the Chipmunks School of Elocution ? I can see why this film didn't do well at the box office. The audiences probably couldn't stop laughing at the voices long enough to pay attention to the fine acting & xlnt script !
You are butchering a film like this. Have you no shame? Also the idiots in the comment sonly seem to hear the sound is off, as if they cant see the huge cloud filter over the footage.
I slowed the playback speed down to 0.75x and it works perfectly! I can't believe that you listened to the entirety of the film in that crazy helium mode!!! 🤣
Thanks for posting this. I hope they don't delete it because it needs a wider audience, especially now.
Right -- ESPECIALLY now. May 2021

"...you're walking out of here and you are going nowhere!"
I saw this movie for the 1st time today on "the grio" channel!
So relevant today!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I did too and Wow I was amazed because it is so true today!!!

This is a great underestimated movie. Sterling performances by all the actors. The valuable points made in this movie should not be lost.
I love this movie so much I even endured the Mickey Mouse and Joe Pesci voice overs
I tried using .75 and lower but it still sounded awful.

@@kingofdubb2133 Which is gone now.
The opening credits music sounds like "Cool" from "West Side Story".
This is an exceptional movie. This is my first time hearing of it.
Another great movie is Guess Who is Coming to Dinner.
A very powerful movie.
I remember this movie coming on and thinking of it as such a fever dream movie

Perfect timing for this movie 2021
Sidney Poitier...artist as a young man. And a younger Peter Falk.
Pressure point and and earlier movie where he played a visitor on a crazy captain’s naval ship(I cannot remember the name) were the only movies where I enjoyed Poitiers acting. I always felt he overacted a bit.
To me, Poitier had his best work here. Throughly enjoyed it. Bobby Darin was awesome here too.

The film is not at its normal speed, this is so that no one will copy it. I slowed it down to 0.75x and it works perfectly.

I saw this on tv once a few years back and thought it was the weirdest shit. I couldn’t find it online for the longest time and thought I was crazy

I really cant find a link to this film anywhere, I would love to watch it in normal speed - Bobby is great in this one!

Mr. Darin was AWESOME in this movie!!!!!
Performance was worthy of an Oscar nomination in my humble opinion.
You can slow the movie down to 0.75x...its perfect then.

Oh yes! I only watch this because of the wonder actors involved. Please try again. I've never seen this before.

1:13:00 "He was hanged about 10 years later". Bobby Darin died 10 years after this film.
Why is the picture marred with a bright light and terrible sound.
Not worth watching because of this.

Is Peter Falk taking sips of helium between his lines??
If he was, then the whole cast was too !!

Peor imposible
Poitier often over acted... A drama queen and a ham But he is my favorite actor
