Well I enjoyed that film, a good 50s movie, definitely kept me on the chains and love Sidney Poitier, not long back came across him and now watching most of his films. I wish racism didn’t exist, we are all equal!

I liked the movie except for the final image. It reminded me of Sam Jackson and Di Caprio in Django Unchained.
