A small landmark in the overlapping annals of the American civil-rights movement and American independent cinema. Simple, tightly focussed, understated, a little overcautious in its treatment of a black Alabama laborer's best efforts to grow up and settle down with the genteel schoolteacher and preacher's daughter. Warm-blooded, three-dimensional portrayals by Ivan Dixon and Abbey Lincoln. Written by Michael Roemer and Robert Young; directed by Roemer. (1964) — Duncan Shepherd
