a thinly disguise KKK allegory. I deleted as I didn't even want to know how it ended. Also disappointed that Bogart took that role. Although I realize as part of the studio system at that time he probably didn't have a choice.

I hope I will feel better when Mr Bogart admits he did wrong and........

it doesn’t look like he’s going to change his ways.

But wait he did change his ways......he’s turning them ALL in. Fawk the Black Legion.

Ok, it was a tad overdone......but I do feel a bit better, as the judge says WE ALL ARE AMERICANS.

Bobby Darin plays a Nazi sympathizer in prison for sedition and Sidney Poitier plays a psychiatrist assigned to examine him to determine if he's mentally ill. It's really good.

I was surprised how good he was in that kind of role. I'd love to hear what you think of it. The only place I found it was on YouTube.

This one has decent audio but the volume is quite low (watching on my phone).





This one is a little louder, but everyone sounds like Joe Pesci.
