1h 27m
Directed by Clarence Brown • 1949 • United States
Starring David Brian, Juano Hernández, Claude Jarman Jr.
One of the first major Hollywood films to deal seriously and sensitively with the subject of racial injustice, this landmark adaptation of the novel by William Faulkner features a towering performance by Juano Hernandez as Lucas Beauchamp, a Black man accused of murdering a white lumberman in a small Mississippi town. As the dead man’s brother whips the local whites into a lynch-mob frenzy, Beauchamp refuses to confess to the crime or give in to intimidation. Now it’s up to a few brave people to take a stand and—without regard to the race of either the victim or the accused—uncover the startling truth.
