This film feels truer than On the Waterfront or Street Car Named Desire.

Martin Ritt's impressive feature directing debut is a socially conscious drama, about union corruption, interracial integration, and moral integrity, well acted by John Cassavetes and Sidney Poitier.

Adequate social (racism) drama from the later fifties. Clear-cut story which gives an enlightening insight into certain social relations at the time. It must be noted, however, that it seems to be trying just about a bit too hard to be politically correct and perhaps even utopian. Authoritarian assholes are white, whereas nice, warm-hearted, sensible people are black. Furthermore, I wonder how realistic it was for a black man back in 1957 to be in such a senior position on the workfloor and to have a wife who is said to have given up on her career because of her marriage. And would the police really bother that much about who was responsible for the death of a black worker? Also, I think this movie wastes too much time on the display of friendships, causing some other important aspects of the plot (Axel's relationship with his parents, the solving of the murder case) to become somewhat snowed under. The final scene is spectacular, but not too realistic (why not just inform the police and leave it at that?).

I think John Cassavetes best movie role. He makes a great duo with Sidney Poitier

A interesting study of two men who are friends and work on the railroad yards. simple enough, but one is white(Cassavettes)and one is African American(Poitier) and it's the 1950s. They get along and he meets Poitier's family, but things get ugly when Poitier is killed on the job, and Cassavettes know the deal. A dillemma is at hand, to tell or not to tell. One of the best movies out there.
