{"product_id":"edge-of-the-city","title":"Edge Of The City","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrifter Axel North has just arrived in New York City, having traveled from city to city throughout the country. Given the name Charlie Malick as a contact by an acquaintance named Ed Faber, Axel is able to get a job working as a stevedore in Charlie’s gang on the dockyards. Little did Axel know that Charlie is corrupt, requiring payola for that job, and is a racist. It is solely because of the color of his skin that Charlie hates his fellow gang boss, Tommy Tyler, a black man. It is also because he can see that Axel is a little wet behind the ears that Tommy tries to befriend him to get him out from under Charlie’s thumb. Due solely to the reason that he is a drifter, Axel is slow to warm and open up to Tommy, eventually providing some basic information: that he is originally from Gary, Indiana, that his real surname is Nordmann, and that the only person he has ever really loved in his life was his older brother Andy, whose death exacerbated the already strained relationship he has with his police officer father. Axel is even slower to warm to the idea of a girlfriend, Tommy and his wife Lucy’s friend Ellen Wilson who they are trying to match up with Axel. Although Axel says he is trying to find something in his life, in reality he is currently running away from a specific issue from his past. It is when Axel’s past may catch up with him that he starts to return to his shell and contemplates running away as was his routine, despite having friends for the first time in a long time. An incident with Charlie and Tommy may bring all their issues to a head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTARS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-7ca9ab76-7fff-bb2b-ca68-d08189adc9e5\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001023\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Cassavetes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001627\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSidney Poitier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0912001\/?ref_=tt_ov_st\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJack Warden\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e75 min | Drama | 1957 | Color\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMovies with low demand and\/or out of print are manufactured-to-order using high quality recordable DVDs.

The entire cast is outstanding, as is Martin Ritt’s sublimely understated direction. The anger, angst, and desparation of urban labor battles is magnificently told in a fashion that is neither obtrusive nor patronizing. In a way it is dated with its era, but in many ways, it is gloriously timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWow!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI cry at a lot of movies. Call me sentimental. Call me one of those viewers who always likes to see a happy ending. This movie, though it has a sad ending, was great! Of all of the actors that I would love to have lunch with, it would be Sidney Poitier. His acting, along with John Cassavetes and Jack Warden (of 12 Angry Men fame)is stellar. His character, who befriends a man on the run (Cassavetes) and helps him out in every way possible is incredible.\u003cbr\u003eThis is another one of those forgotten noirs made during the end of the noirish era. It is well done, has a superb cast, extremely talented acting, and great cinematography. It is a film worth watching over and over again. I highly recommend this one! This is just another truly great film done by Mr. Poitier and should be sold on DVD. Even though I cried, kudos to such great art!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FilmClassicsonDVD","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":51462983942431,"sku":"edcit-1","price":12.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DOWNLOAD","offer_id":51462983975199,"sku":"edcit-2","price":10.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/0788\/5087\/files\/Screenshot_130.png?v=1765458607","url":"https:\/\/filmclassicsondvd.com\/products\/edge-of-the-city","provider":"FilmClassicsonDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
