Recommendations on books, films and more




Welcome to our book, film and literature suggestions/reviews section and other stuff


Today’s Suggestion


Film

No Way Out  




This film stars Sidney Poitier in his first screen role. It is a powerful story of racism, local neighborhood street crime, the hatred that can be fostered in an environment whose history stems in a lack of respect, prejudice and nationalism.  Poitier is a doctor working in a hospital who comes into contact with a youth criminal played by Richard Widmark. Character actors round off a superb cast and storyline that makes for a compelling film.
