If you enjoy on-location movies, the setting of 1964 Seattle in glorious black and white is the view here. The workings of emergency response systems from that era are fascinating when compared to today. So many people places and efforts to save one life will either impress you or make your eyes roll at the extremity. The set decoration and wardrobe were nominated for AA and you can see why. Some imperfections: The disco scene is a bit strange considering to the squareness of the characters. The purpose of Ed Asner's character seems a bit unnecessary too. Outside those slightly unusual faults, the film is excellent in its drama. The film is owned by Anne Bancroft with Sidney Poitier shining as usual. Recommend.
