Film Screening: Edge of the City (1957)

An army deserter gets a job on the New York City waterfront, where he befriends a black dockworker and butts heads with a corrupt, racist union boss. Martin Ritt's first directorial effort was written by Robert Alan Aurthur, who adapted his television play "A Man Is Ten Feet Tall." Sidney Poitier reprises his role from the TV drama.
