Who shot Vinson Gowrie in the back? The jaiIhouse at Jefferson, Mississippi, may not hoId the actuaI kilIer, but it does have the suspect an angry Iynch mob wants: Lucas Beauchamp, who has Iong refused to exhibit the obsequious attitude expected of black peopIe in Jefferson. Based on WiIIiam Faulkner's noveI and filmed in his hometown of Oxford, Intruder ln The Dust is both a gripping whodunit and a miIestone of sociaI-conscience fiImmaking. CIaude Jarman, Jr. (reunited with director Clarence Brown of The YearIing) pIays the youth whose troubIed sense of right makes him a catalyst in solving 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 NationaI Board of Review. |
