A totally absorbing film showing great acting talents of Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier as escapees from a chain gang. Chained together, they must get along to survive and conquer the racial prejudices that divide them so.
Both actors received best actor nominations. For both being nominated, David Niven was given a gift that year of the best actor award for Separate Tables.
Comedienne Cara Williams shines as a woman they meet while on the lamb. While her part is brief, Williams is gritty and was nominated for best supporting actress as well as sheriff Theodore Bikel, in the supporting category as well. His relentlessness in trying to capture the two is memorable.
The film is truly an excellent character study. Its ending will have you stand up and cheering.
