They couldn't have set about to make a quality film about the social, cultural or civil rights issues of the 1960s. This movie is pure exploitation. Bad writing, bad acting. Gaping mistakes.
No doubt society was unenlightened and people were treated badly but this film doesn't properly delve into it. It is all over the top. The headlines of newspapers in the film are so rude they are laughing out loud. The stunts I'm the courtroom are so ludicrous they are laughable.
Then there is the acting. Julie London us horrible as always and Barrymore is worse. Agnes Morehead is mostly wasted.
The only good thing in this film is Nst King Cole.
