Taking On a Life Of It’s Own
Sidney Poitier made his screen debut in No Way Out about a young black doctor accused of ‘murder’ by Richard Widmark. Seeing the two of them you would hardly believe that they in fact became lifelong friends in real life.

The Biddle Brothers, a pair of white trash rednecks, from a neighborhood called Beaver Canal in a large American city, get brought into an emergency room with gunshot wounds. They tried to stick up a gas station and got caught. Sidney Poitier is a young intern on duty and he suspects something more wrong with the younger Biddle’s condition. While doing a spinal tap his patient dies and the rabidly racist Widmark playing the older Biddle, accuses Poitier of murder.

No matter how off the wall his charges are, some people listen and some have to investigate. In Poitier’s corner is his supervisor Stephen McNally. But Widmark manages to spread his poison and it results in a race riot.

Widmark is something else. Down to this day it’s so easy for some to believe they’re in a bad situation because someone else or some group else is somehow given preferential treatment. Widmark believes this and he lives in an area where it’s taken as gospel. We’ve rarely seen a portrayal of hate as vivid as this on screen.

Hate whether it’s individually or group directed can sometime take on a life of its own. Even when he’s confronted with the truth about the ludicrousness of his charges, Widmark still won’t let go. It’s what’s most frightening in No Way Out.

Linda Darnell is excellent also as the former wife of Widmark’s brother. She buys into Widmark’s hate at first, but she shows a capacity to learn. It can be found in most of us or there would be no hope for the human race.

Joseph Mankiewicz directed and wrote No Way Out. He was at the height of his career winning two best Director Oscars back to back for A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve. He probably didn’t win anything for No Way Out because the Academy voters didn’t want to give him everything at that time. He was nominated for Best Screenplay.

Sixty Six years later No Way Out is still a powerful portrayal of racism and its ugly effects on the soul.

Prescient…Powerful…Must See…Unfettered Racism
Powerful and Relevant in 1950.

Just the Same Today.

Remarkable, as Many Bumpy Strides that have been Made, Especially after the Civil Rights Legislation, Not Much at the Core of the Problem or Solutions has Changed.

The “Human Condition” at the Very Center of Existence seems Undetermined to “Exorcise” a Thing that is a Detriment to Evolution,

Prosperity, and “Equal Justice Under the Law”, is a Thing that Lingers Despite its Obvious Flaws.

That UN-Exorcised Condition of the Human Species is a Baked-In Bigotry, Ethnocentric Racism. Brought-On by Fear of the “Other”.

Taking-On this Social Condition was an Easier Task Following WWII and its Clear Truth with the African-American Soul Fighting Near All the “Others” on the War Against Fascism.

In Fact, it was such an Obvious Hypocrisy by America and its Population, that this “Truth” was a Frequent Topic on Propaganda Highways During Much of the War.

Mankiewicz, and the Entire Cast Give Spot-On Representations of the Harm and the People Behind the Harm, that Doesn’t Deviate to “PC”.

Richard Widmark…in Another Riveting Role of the Super-Vile-Villain.

Sydney Poitier, as a New Doctor Besieged By the Bile IN-Your-Face.

Linda Darnell…as the Conflicted Beauty Trapped, with “No Way Out”, in a Despicable, Unhealthy, and Inescapable Involuntary Servitude.

The Whole Film is Populated with Outstanding Characters and Actors.

This is a 70 Year Old Movie that Today, Comes with No Apologetics Needed.

It has Virtually Not Aged One Bit.
