Part of the Film Noir Series in the STARLIGHT ROOM.
Compelling in both in its courage and its compromises, Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s 1950 film NO WAY OUT was by far the most impassioned denunciation of racism to come out of a Hollywood studio in its time. In his feature film debut, Oscar-winner Sidney Poitier is a young doctor appointed to a Chicago prison ward as his first assignment. When neighborhood tough guy (top-billed Richard Widmark) is wounded in a hold-up and dies refusing to be treated by him, the tension escalates into violence.DramaPT1H46MNR2026-02-26
