The artlessness of the film is in itself sympathetic, but it fails simply through lack of imagination, lack of grasp. The result is something protracted, confused, and lacking in drama.

early poitier is always a treat but this film wasnt that great. i dont the zordas are terribly effective directors, i can understand why cahiers du film dismissed them. they really dont leave a mark on their films in the least. however, the statements made in the film were very important. so this is going to have to be graded on a curve given the historical importance

This movie needs to be required viewing, along with reading Alan Paton's novel by the same name, for everyone who wants to understand South Africa in the 1940s when the apartheid system was practiced but not yet as rigid or violently enforced as it would be by the 1960s. It is also an instructive human interest drama of racial reconciliation and forgiveness without dipping into sentimentality. Most importantly, as a film it is a period piece filmed on location close to the time the drama was set, so it bears an authenticity the later (1995) film can't recreate as effectively. I am very unhappy this 1951 Korda version has been removed from YouTube and isn't easily available, apart from used VHS copies on Ebay or Amazon. Bring out a new DVD please!

Not exactly a fast or exciting movie, but a very authentic feeling and tragic one.
