I stumbled on this movie one evening and it completely captured me. It is almost entirely a dialog between Bancroft and Poitier but I could not take my eyes off of their performances, especially Poitier. It was this film that convinced me that Poitier is my favorite American actor, even above Paul Newman, Bogart, and all the rest. The suspense is riveting, the caring of one human for another is compelling and Poitier made me care as well.
