and one I greatly recommend along with "To Kill A Mockingbird", which just had it's 50th Anniversary. I don't know if we are reverting to this kind of thinking or that it just really never went away, but both films give one pause. Another I would suggest is called "Sergeant Rutledge" directed by John Ford, from 1960.

I love Spencer Tracy. Wonderful movie, also a wonderful play.

Wait. You can watch the whole thing online????

The entire movie.

The people in this town are pretty much as extreme as some people are today in their religious fervor.

I just watched it again a few months ago and was thinking much the same thing you were. Depressing.

of attitudes as many do today, its as if nothing has changed, ever.

Ironically Tony Randall played Hornbeck when he first appeared in this play many many years ago.

Give me that old time religion.... that was Leslie Uggams singing, btw.
