The Defiant Ones
(1958)|
Two escaped convicts -- one black (Sidney Poitier), one white (Tony Curtis) and both shackled in the same pair of handcuffs -- battle the elements and each other as they travel Southern back roads eluding the ever-approaching posse. Produced at the peak of racial disharmony, this story of two men with strong prejudices who find common ground was powerful in its time. Nominated for nine Oscars, the film won for Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography.
