not going spoil the dynamite

way b4 sydney poitier james edwards was busting down walls & dealing with post WWII racial prejudice

If you get a chance see this movie. It would make a good addition for any Veterans Day film festival. The acting and production level are both good and it doesn't seem dated. Check out how the cast is credited when it come on...

James Edwards was one of the first Black actors to break the Hollywood stereotypes of Black people. It's a good film and it does pay some tribute to Black participation in World War II.

I admire the fact this film tackles racial issues long before it became trendy. It subtly deals with race issues, basically not the blunt over the top way Oprah Winfrey does. Nice performances. The writing is a bit obvious, but it is well meaning and sincere. Skillfully directed by Stanley Kramer.
