Product Description

SYNOPSIS: Luis Bunuel and Hugo Butler (under the pseudonym "H.B. Addis") adapted Peter Matthiessen's story 'Travelin' Man' for this drama about a black jazz musician, on the run from a false accusation of raping a white woman. Miller (Zachary Scott, 'Mildred Pierce') is a middle-aged handyman on a small island off the Carolina coast. His neighbours are a 13-year-old girl, Evalyn (Key Meersman) and her grandfather. After her grandfather dies, Miller looks after the young girl, and they are the only two on the island until the arrival of Traver (Bernie Hamilton), a black man fleeing a lynch mob that suspects him of rape. Miller wants to turn hm in and remove him from the tryst, but Evalyn likes Traver and protects him. A preacher arrives from the mainland to rescue Evalyn from her situation, and Trver's presence is discovered. Miller is now forced to decide whether to turn him over to the mob and lose standing in the girl's eyes. One of the less celebrated of Bunuel's works - though it was nominated for the Palme d'Or and brought the director a Cannes special mention - THE YOUNG ONE is a complex and controversial work dealing with illicit desire and racial prejudice. One of only two of Bunuel's English language features. ABOUT THE DVD: This is a release by OPTIMUM for the UK market (Region 2 PAL format - which will play on all standard DVD players in the UK and the rest of Europe - buyers outside of Europe will need a multi-region player in order to view it) - The film is presented in its original BLACK & WHITE and WIDESCREEN format (1.77:1 aspect ratio) and runs for a total of 92 minutes - the AUDIO is the original ENGLISH language and MONO - SUBTITLES are in ENGLISH language only.

this is a good movie with a central theme of an orphan teenager living alone with a sheriff in an island; the sheriff goes from hating her as the child he doesn't want to take care of to liking her as the woman he sees emerging...the disturbed child also meets a runaway colored man who she befriends, creating a atmosphere of many disturbing issues including racism.

I was surprised by how fresh it felt even though it's close to fifty years old. Worth having in your DVD library.

HASH(0x95cbf7d4) out of 5 stars When one hand washes the other one! 5 Nov. 2007
By Hiram Gòmez Pardo Venezuela - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
A black man is unfairly accused of violation, and forced to escape until the state of things descends of this boiling point. So, he will arrive to an island, where a very attractive but extremely young girl (maybe she is in her twelve) be seduced the master of that home, once she became orphan of her only parent, a drunken old man.

So, when a priest arrives to the island (once he was informed she is orphan) , the explosive truth will exposes itself, and the pretended change of attitude of this miserable human being respect the black man.

Devastating and brutal description of what the level of overlooking positions may become.
