Very well paced, and very good character development. From the beginning, this movie holds your interest. Really stretched that shoestring budget to make a gritty, powerful movie that is unforgettable. Max Baer successfully shed his Jethro persona and is a very good actor, conveying his troubled character very convincingly... the rest of the cast are mainly unknown actors, with a couple of familiar faces too. Really captures the old segregationist South and the time.. the mid 1950s. The move has a special quality in that it flows... it's not as if these people are acting. They seem all too real.
