Terrifically exciting, edge-of-your-seat, 19 June 2000

I saw this on AMC a couple of years ago, and it knocked me over. Hey, there's a race riot scene, pretty realistic, and this is from 1950! Fabulous acting, great script, pulls you in like "On the Waterfront" does. It's hard to believe that the writer/director, Joseph Mankiewicz, was the same guy who made "Cleopatra". This one is worth seeking out.
