31 march 2020 

(USA, 1960) directed by John Ford, starring Jeffrey Hunter, Mary Beecher, Woody Strode, color, 111’, 35mm, Italian dubbed version

Technicolor print

Black Sergeant Braxton Rutledge is wrongly accused of rape and murder. In court, he is defended by fellow soldier Lieutenant Cantrell: during the trial, a series of dramatic twists will finally reveal the truth. Ford skillfully mixes western film with courtroom thriller drama and, above all, defies Hollywood rules by creating one of the first three-dimensional portraits of an Afro-American hero.
