Who shot Vinson Gowrie in the back? The jailhouse at Jefferson, Mississippi, may not hold the actuaI killer, but it does have the suspect an angry lynch mob wants: Lucas Beauchamp, who has long refused to exhibit the obsequious attitude expected of black people in Jefferson. Based on WilIiam FauIkner's novel and fiImed in his hometown of Oxford, lntruder In The Dust is both a gripping whodunit and a miIestone of social-conscience filmmaking. Claude Jarman, Jr. (reunited with director CIarence Brown of The YearIing) plays the youth whose troubled sense of right makes him a cataIyst in soIving the mystery. And Juano Hernandez is memorable as Lucas: proud, perceptive, strong - words that aIso describe this superb fiIm named one of 1949's 19 best by the National Board of Review. |
