DOUBLE FEATURED (2 MOVIES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE) WITH LOSEY'S PAUL MUNI NEO-REALISM STRANGER ON THE PROWL!

This Intriguing study of Mexican-American fruit-pickers, subjected to all sorts of abuse and racial discrimination in a California small town was the second feature-film by legendary director Joseph Losey (The Servant). Macdonald Carey plays a crusading newspaperman who seemingly is the only person willing to champion the oppressed workers cause and tries to stop a lynch mobs manhunt of a Latino fugitive accused of fomenting a riot. The director, producers and writers of this film are to be commended for tackling a controversial issue in an honest, no-nonsense fashion. Joseph Losey was later blacklisted in the United States and moved to Europe where he made the remainder of his films, mostly in the United Kingdom.

"This early, socially-conscious film by Joseph Losey, before he was blacklisted, deals with racial discrimination in a powerful way." - Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

"A realistic B-film liberal melodrama about the discrimination of Mexican-American farm workers in California." - Dennis Schwartz, Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
