Power. Prestige. Presence. Poitier. Edge of the City Workmen Poitier and John Cassavetes confront NYC waterfront corruption while sharing a bond that cuts across society's black/white divide. Martin Ritt (Saunder) directs. A Patch of Blue A blind white girl from an abusive, bigoted family does not know that the Good Samaritan helping her learn simple tasks like how to use a pay phone is black. A landmark of social-conscience filmmaking. Something of Value The clash of longtime friends (Poitier and Rock Hudson) mirrors the bloody Mau Mau uprising in Kenya. Richard Brooks (Blackboard Jungle) directs a powerful look at war and injustice. A Warm December A new city, a new life, a new chance of happiness. An American widower in London finds the perfect love... but a shadow hangs over it. Poitier directs and stars in a romantic tour de force. |
