Many thanks to Mary for sending me a copy of this movie.
I saw this about three years ago. I’d been desperate to see it for a while. A lot of people were saying it was the trickiest Sidney Poitier movie to get hold of at the time. I got hold of it through a friend in Canada who got hold of it for me. The plot reminded me a lot of ODD MAN OUT, with additional racial and urban themes thrown in. Enjoyed it on the whole and have been eager to see it again – thanks to you, I can now give it that re-watch!
Great to see it for the 1st time! Very rarely seen anywhere, even online.
Thanks so much for uploading this rare gem!
Loved This movie.thanks for putting it online..have anymore…this movie should be on dvd
This is an exciting heist film featuring Sidney Poitier dramatic acting and his outstanding supporting cast members. I am glad to see this rare 1996 gem of a movie again, a must see.
I’ve been searching g high and low for this. Its been impossible to see even a trailer before now. Thank you so much for this. Can’t wait to dive in. I thought I’d seen all of Poitier movies until I heard about this one. Thanks again!!
THEY got married in real life, had a NICE life together and FREE of American style racism.
I first saw , this film , when it premiered, in 1969 . My late mother , Olivia P Shaw , and her childhood friend Mrs.Vera Eubanks, both had brief extra appearances. My mother does a walk by scene , in the beginning , and Mrs. Eubanks, appears , playing the piano and leading the gospel choir , in the live church scene. Vera Eubanks passed away, recently ,May 2024. She is the mother of jazz greats Kevin , Duane, and Robin Eubanks.
