Cast: Gwendolyn Laster, Richard Rober, Maidie Norman, Harry Morgan, Ernest Anderson, Dick Simmons, Lane Chandler, Pat Mitchell, Margaret Wells, Wheaton Chambers, Michael Ross, Russell Trent, George(2) Hamilton
This 1951 film boldly addresses the issue of racism when a Black five-year-old girl, Carolyn (Gwendolyn Laster), disappears, and a White man, Claude Packard (Harry Morgan), becomes the prime suspect. Hysteria fills the town–until Carolyn is found when it is discovered that she has fallen down a well. Now, Claude comes to her rescue, brings Carolyn to safety, and racial tensions are relieved. The film received Oscar nominations for Best Film Editing and Screenplay. 1 User Review

| | Forit 09/29/2009 | This is truly a great film for all time, especially for families to discuss the implications of suspicious insecurities we hold for people of different backgrounds.
This would be a good movie to show in places where there are no ethnic people and why we don't become friends and neighbors with other people? |
