REVIEW
A race-conscious town in Tennessee is divided over the scandalous divorce of a black lawyer and his adulterous wife, who has been having an affair with a white cop. Wyler deftly demonstrates the sexual and racial passions boiling over in the tiny town, but the screenplay can't overcome its melodramatic roots. You Might Also Like
