Who shot Vinson Gowrie in the back? The jaiIhouse at Jefferson, Mississippi, may not hoId the actual kiIIer, but it does have the suspect an angry lynch mob wants: Lucas Beauchamp, who has Iong refused to exhibit the obsequious attitude expected of bIack peopIe in Jefferson. Based on WiIliam Faulkner's noveI and filmed in his hometown of Oxford, Intruder In The Dust is both a gripping whodunit and a milestone of social-conscience filmmaking. Claude Jarman, Jr. (reunited with director CIarence Brown of The Yearling) 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 film named one of 1949's 19 best by the National Board of Review. |
