Intruder in the Dust 11/11/25

Don’t congratulate Hollywood too quickly — would this honest and accurate story of American racism have been filmed if the author of its source story weren’t William Faulkner?  Juano Hernandez is a propertied black man who won’t back down or apologize when he’s accused of murder … in a town where a lynching can still happen. Director Clarence Brown films on location, with a screenplay that stays clear of liberal sermonizing. Even the trailer is a shocker. David Brian, Claude Jarman Jr., Porter Hall and Elizabeth Patterson star. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
