Thank you for this gem. I appreciate Poitier played distinguished characters - not a pimp, not a junkie, not a man servant. RIP Mr. Tibbs
Yes I agree
ANYTHING with Mr. Poitier is excellent. Thanks for the upload
Anything with Sydney Poitier is always pure gold .
A Brilliant film with excellent performances from Sidney Poitier and Richard Widmark. Worth watching.
Poitier so dignified to take this challenging role. Widmark was his usual villain expertise. Both Poitier and Widmark wer masters of their trade. Excellent watch 👏
It is written: "do not return evil for evil." The young Mr. Poitier and his friends have given us a remarkable performance. Thanks for posting.
Thank you. Glad you found the movie interesting too.
No what's happening is that they're following the script....
@@evanokeroa4877 Thanks. Still, whenever we return evil for evil, a great evil results.
Written by your enemies the evil one's!😅
Mr. Poitier was a great actor. But that line was written for brainwashing to keep us docile. This is 1950. When will our enemies practice what they preach?
Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis earlier works. I believe there was a declaimer before the film began with Richard Widmark saying by all means he's playing a racist character, and this wasn't his belief. Both Portier and Widmark became lifelong friends after the movie were said and done..
I Like That.. It's Always Worth Mentioning.. I was born around such people as Widmark intended to separate himself from.. They require far too much of my peaceful spirit.. My surrogate Mama was a light skinned Black Angel and I bloodied my knuckles more than once when an idiot spoke out of turn.. but Mama told me it wasn't our fight.. "They got to carry that with them when they stand before the Lord".. She Loved me & my my brother when she didn't have to and we love her always.. All Love & Peace
@@PsyJaye"light skinned"? That's racist.
If Sidney Poitier is in it you can count on a class production. I remember seeing this film in the past. I appreciated seeing it again. Having been a child in the 1950s I remember being confused and disgusted by racism. Poitier always rose above such realistic disrespect.
An excellent movie! A true classic.The dialogue is like no other, spare and snappy with no leftovers!
We will turn the lights out and you wont know the difference..Brilliant.First time watch for me and I am 65. An outstanding actor. Cheers from the uk.
P.S. Widmark, as always plays a stellar villain!
Widmark and Poitier became good friends when they made this film. Poitier said Widmark kept apologizing for the racial language he was using. Poitier said, "Don't worry, Dick. You have to say it because it's in the script."
Mr. Poitier was a unique person and wonderful actor. RIP 🌺
They don't make em like Poitier anymore. Acting at its finest.
This will go into my top 100 films list! And to have it filmed in the 1950’s is incredible! BRAVO!👍🏽😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Now I am curious about your top 10 or so to see what films you vibe with
v good acting. good direction. at the end Truth will prevail.
Sidney Poitier and Richard Widmark worked so well together. If you liked them here you must see 'The Bedford Incident' (1965)
I have been waiting for years to see this movie again
One of the most important films ever made!
Excellent! Lived through the 6o's, it was like that, Sydney P. did too. He was an amazing actor and the films he did were always more than entertainment. I wish they would play "The Last Man" soon. That was really the 60's.
Love Sid Poitier❤ Thankyou for the movie 🎉
A heartfelt tip-of-the-cap to director and screenwriter Joseph L. Mankiewicz for his frank, hard-hitting take on the post-World War II color barrier and its impact on a big-city hospital. Actors Poitier and Widmark are particularly affecting in this fine film, and it’s a testament to the quality of the screenwriters and performers that this film still seems relevant.
Widmark will always be in a class by himself in playing the classic Hollywood golden age villain.
great frigging movie REAL
Good Film Glad I Came Across It.. 😊
Us too!
❤❤I love Your INTRO! I wish I could sing like you. ❤❤ I would add a intro with audio immediately. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE!. Watching from the Philippines
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH ... HIS SPIRIT IS MARCHING ON AND ON AND ON ... HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON AND ON AND ON ........
❤🙏♥️
Let's not forget Ossie Davis and R, brilliant actors as well Ruby Dee
Ozzie and Ruby❤
I will always refer to this magnificent couple as "THE KIDS!!!!!"
Thank you
I love the black tree TV theme song....soulful
During the filming of this, Widmark apologized to Poitier for having to frequently be required to use racial slurs in the film, and hated doing it. Poitier was very touched by the thoughtful consideration, also noting Richard continued to stay openly courteous and freindly throughout the film, assisting Sid in feeling welcome on set. They remained lifelong friends, since.
Excellent
He tore out his soul with his own hatred.
Good and Interesting Movie. Rest in Peace Sidney Poitier.
Great movie stars 5
sydney was fantastic in hos 1st movie in the school Viginia wow
If you want to see a great Poitier film, "Shoot to kill" is on UA-cam free, starring Sidney Poitier and Tom Berenger. 1988. Great wilderness action film.
Excellent movie !
Richard Widmark role go o hell !
Sad what hate does to people
God bless us. 👍👍
In the production of this movie Richard Widmark would constantly apologize to Sidney Poitier for the dialogue trying to emphasize he was not like the character he was playing
I love your intro song!
Very disturbing subject. Very well acted by Poitier, Widmark and the lady that played the ex-wife and the housekeeper/cook.
Fictious situation with added drama to create suspense
A documentary would be
Better showing how hospitals
Actually work!
It's ironic that this film talks of blatant racism...and yet in presenting the actors at the beginning...there were at least 2 who should of been mentioned after Sydney Poitier😢
Was it there breakthrough also? There are enough mentions of the actors you speak of, their name isn’t cut out of the credits. I promote these movies to my audience, it is not racism to do so. It is so funny all of the non black people claiming racism these days while at the same time America fights to remove evidence of real racism from our literature and history.
@@blacktreemedia Thank you for getting back to me...il faux savoir...That I'm coming from a perspective of someone born in France , grew up in lowa and then went back " home" in the nineties at 37 years old...that was 25 years ago. All that to say my outlook is rather odd maybe....My remark was justified to me by the fact that Mr Poitier was the actor carring the message and had the camera on him for the most part of the movie...l thought of the fact that the 2 people mentioned before him , as the credits unfolded, maybe HAD been more exposed than him at the time of making this movie...as it was well before " my time" I'm guessing at that. So I'm rambling...sorry...l'll finish by saying...from what l can gather, America has grown up somewhat with her problem of racism, Obama being a case in point...BUT...l believe after all the huffing and puffing coming out of this maga era...they come from a deep disdain for the black community...in all evidence, for a black man to have been elected president just blew a circuit among them....Anyway, all countries have their fare share of insitionalized racism, France not being the least with her Arab minority...Above all...thanks for the excellent movie you my offered freely..l was you well in your endeavours and once again, thank you for taking the time to send me a few words.
@woodwage7988. Awe I see what you were originally saying which I somewhat misunderstood. Yes it still would stand that they would present their more popular actors first as Richard Widmark and Sidney shared co-lead but this was Sidney’s first role while Widmark had been in a few films already and had made a name for himself. Same with Linda Darnell. So maybe not to odd to put his name 3rd on the billing. Although on the official poster his name isn’t even in big letters as co-lead, which does speak to your original thoughts. America and racism is an exhausting subject that we must discuss over coffee next time I am in France as opposed to here. But again this was Sidney’s second film but first credited role. I am not sure if he even had a speaking part in the prior film
That professors acting as the actual Howard zinn
The hatred is all around .
What can we do about it? 1:34:44
Another great movie in the same genre as this movie is a movie staring William Shatner called "The Intruder" the movie can be found here on YT.
There is always a way our!!!!!.IMO😮😮😮
Damn Richard widmark played that role not sure if I like him
I remember when Sarah Paulson played that role in 12 Years a Slave that it made me not want to like her but alas I remembered that she is just being a great actor and allowing us to feel the emotion for the character that the writer meant for us to feel, I hope this is Widmark doing the same.
It's called acting. Joe Biden wasn't yet available to fill the role.
Hatred all around us.What can we do about it?
I need a BlackPantherTV :) thnx
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent acting, weak script.
The Yanks are a weird people...
Indeed we are. 🤣
Sure. The southern Democratic White Anglo Saxon protestants (WASPs) were so much more endearing. 100 years of post civil war black segregation and the KKK prove that. It's interesting, Joe Biden is on video swearing allegiance to their cause, the KKK. Look it up on UA-cam, if you doubt it.
Then again he was teaching in a black girls institution at the time when racist segregation from the top
Great movie, but ruined by the foul mouthed talker right after the movie. Great illustration of how far down we've gone, right in the same video.
Sorry that upset you.
Horrible seedy film that dealt with racism, where only Dummy smiled, this was made 6 years before my birth, and racism still exists in 2024 - why?.
I WATCH ALL OF SIDNEY POITIER MOVIES NO T BECAUSE HE IS BLACK BUT BECAUSE HE IS SO GOOD GOD BLESS SIDNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A fine actor.
The best.@@gerryhouska2859
