Thank you for selective this powerful, haunting film. A sad reflection of the human condition peppered with hope.
I would have liked to see more resolution in the end regarding Nicky but that's just me. Overall I really enjoyed this movie!
Loved seeing Ella Fitzgerald. Shelley Winters one of my all-time favorite actress.
I was so delighted to see the great Ella Fitzgerald. Burl Ives made gave this movie greater depth with his character. He was a great actor.
EXCELLENT MOVIE ❤
This movie was very under rated. One of my favorites.
The sheer humanity in this movie one can never express in words, one has to feel it in every cell of one's body.
That had to be the worst ending ever of any movie on the planet!!
I'm here because I was a fan of James Darren. RIP 😔
The cast is stellar, but I've always found movies from this era painfully nyalistic and sadly darkly bleak. Mr. Ives' touching performance was a stunning surprise.
Judge – “ I’m going to show you how tough I am – $50 fine or 10 days in jail!”

What a powerful, and at the same time depressing, movie; nothing in society has really changed in 50 years. The main cast was great, as were all the colorful character actors at every turn.
Movie was fine. However most of the trouble for all involved was because of the kid. 🤔 People died because of him.
Me impactó. Tremenda película y actuaciones excelentes. Gracias.
