l'Uomo del klan 🎥 par Terence Young
In una cittadina del profondo sud, dove il Klu Klux Klan l'ha sempre fatta da padrone, un proprietario terriero appoggia il movimento nazista. Il Klan lo condanna a morte. L'uomo si difende e nella battaglia si trova accanto lo sceriffo locale disgustato dalle troppe malefatte della setta. Finale tragico. (fonte: retro del dvd)
A tiny southern city has only been rocked by a catastrophe: a young girl was raped. The snowy city fathers immediately announce the attacker had to be black, and put the blame on Garth, a young black guy. Assuming that the guys in white sheets are not intent on holding a fair and unbiased trial, Garth happens to the forests as the Klansmen lynching party hunts him down. (fonte: Imdb)
A local Sheriff tries to keep the peace as racial strife hits his small Alabama town as tensions boil over when a black man is accused of raping a white woman. (fonte: Imdb)
A couple sharpshooters go on a crime spree.
2.5/4 (Okay).
This is remarkably similar to "They Live by Night," which was released the previous year (and which I coincidentally watched last month). This movie has a better story, following a traditional tragedy arc rather than They Live By Night's inescapable existential doom. And the action scenes here are handled better. But They Live By Night had a better cast; it had a love story and a sort of warmth that really made you care about the characters. This movie is stock Noir characters being horny and making bad decisions.
