An African American police detective from Philadelphia is recruited to help solve a murder in a small bigoted Mississippi town. The film dealt skillfully with the topic of race relations in the South during the Civil Rights movement and included a controversial scene in which a white actor Larry Gates slaps Poitier in the face at which point Poitier slaps him right back. It was said you could determine the racial makeup of a theater by their verbal reaction to the scene: cheers for a predominantly Black audience or whispers for a predominantly white one. <br /> <br /> Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture and nominated for two others.<br /> <br /> Though set in the fictional town of Sparta Mississippi Poitier refused to travel below the Mason-Dixon Line so the film was shot largely in Illinois. <br /> <br /> Transparencies 4 x 5 inches slides 2 x 2 inches.

Richardson" stamp on verso. <br /> <br /> Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free.

It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenplay. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero."<br /> <br /> 8 x 10 inches.
