DESCRIPTION
From producer Stanley Kramer (The Defiant Ones) and director Mark Robson (Valley of the Dolls) comes one of Hollywood’s first films to confront racism head-on, adapted by legendary screenwriter Carl Foreman (High Noon) from the play by Arthur Laurents (West Side Story).
Private Peter Moss returns from a dangerous reconnaissance mission on a Japanese-held island paralysed - yet doctors can find nothing physically wrong with him. As an army psychiatrist probes his memories of jungle terror, lost friends, and a lifetime of prejudice, one question remains: can Moss confront the true source of his paralysis and walk again?
Starring James Edwards (The Steel Helmet) in a landmark leading performance, alongside Lloyd Bridges (High Noon), Frank Lovejoy (In a Lonely Place), and Jeff Corey (True Grit), the film was shot in secrecy in just thirty days and named one of the ten best films of 1949 by the National Board of Review.
1500 copies only.
