This is an incredible movie! One of the best I've seen, both in addressing racial issues, and the times. Groundbreaking! I watched it last night and was instantly amazed at its intelligence and merit! The fact that it was made in 1950 makes it all the more mind-blowing!
OMG I don't have the words. This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm just blown away. RIP Sidney Poitier and Richard Widmark, two of the best actors ever.
A great film. Watched it 3 times now in two weeks. Darnell's best performance by far and she said the only real film she ever made. Great debut from Sydney Poitier playing a positive role no black actor had ever played before. Richard Widmark top notch too. What a brave film to make at that time.
It's a great film, although watching movies from that era compared to movies from the 60s, I think race relations and equality are very similar to now: 2 steps forward, 1 step back. It's impractical to expect a pure linear progression, more like a stock that fluctuates but keeps heading up.
Poitier was purposefully selected because he was a Tom wholly unthreatening to white folks. James Edwards and Juano Hernandez were better actors but fragile white audiences were scared and uncomfortable so they were supplanted by profit-maximizing Poitier. Check out Intruder in the Dust and Home of the Brave...
Wow, I had never heard of this movie until I read Sidney Poitier's obituary this morning, terrific cast, terrific movie and some good music interspersed, several Duke Ellington tunes.
I don't know why it took me so long but I just watched No Way Out for the first time. Great movie for it's time to have been 1950. Near the end, Sidney Poitier says, "I can't kill a man just because he hates me." Great writing and lines! And great acting by the "big 3" throughout the movie!
Superb acting here. Widmark is one of my favourite actors. He's probably more effective as a heavy. He didn't use his sardonic laugh here as much as in other similar roles. But i prefer him in the good guy role, when his real personality shines through those blue blue eyes and ready smile of his. As for Poiter, a real class act in all his films
Fitting film debut of the late, great Sir Sidney Poitier. A trailblazer who opened the very doors of Hollywood for so many. Richard Widmark became his good friend and was the first person in Tinseltown to invite him into his home. R.I.P., both of you, great gentlemen, great actors, great human beings.
It's terrific that Sidney and Richard formed a lifelong friendship. *Good job by Linda* Great line... "With these walls, I know just who brushes his teeth and who don't" Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee ;) * Nice scene in the kitchen with Gladys * Hold That Tiger song. I can't kill a man just because he hates me. Good movie.
Two powerful performances by two great actors! Widmark especially with his sickening hatred, ignorance, foul name-calling and cruelty. Poitier is his classy, controlled, well-mannered self, a pleasure to watch. Thanks for posting, what a surprise such a movie was made back then!
@@nancyhowell4505 - agree. Powerful stuff. The film couldn't have been better cast. Two of the best. In real life Richard and Sidney were the best of friends. In fact Richard did a wonderful speech at the lifetime achievement (Sidney's second Oscar presentation) which is worth watching on RUclips. You can see the wonderful bond between them. I adore the films both of these giants made.
@@immaterialimmaterial5195 I had a vague memory that they were friends, but I wasn't sure, it was so long ago. Thank you for clearing that up for me! 🙂
Richard Widmark was far from being a racist. He made a career of playing off the wall charcters. As a matter of fact he was constantly apologizing to Sidney Poitier for his racist comments.
Shawn Malone This gets me. If the actor plays the part TWO well , he gets called a racist, if he Plays it badly....lousy actor . Now , I’m gonna swear, he’s (Richard Widmark ) is a fu**ing good Actor a true f**cking talent. That giggle in one his films still gets me.what film ? These guys are like oil paintings wrong stroke like that and you might just as well chuck it In the bin.

@@courtneywhite6036 Are you nuts? You think Native Americans weren't treated as bad? No a lot longer!

@@m42037 Black Americans during Slavery got our names and our language and our African history taken away from us, My ancestors were giving their slave masters last name like we are their property, Native Americans didn't come near of experiencing anything like that
Fine acting! The intensity of the fight scene always makes me nervous! Brilliant scene! The sign language communication is so awesome and advanced. The final scene is amazing!. 🤟🏾🤟🏾Bravo! .👏🏽👏🏽
I say Bravo; I watched No Way Out for the first time, August 3, 2024. I was born in 1955 in the South, Durham, North Carolina. I don't recall ever seeing this film. Although, it shown for free on RUclips, I purchased it on Amazon Prime to be a part of my movie collection.
I really appreciated the brothas realizing the best defense is an offense. The first time I saw brothas fighting back, and even the mother was like let him go. I never saw this flick a young Sidney Pointier and it was great.
i started knowing about Sidney Poitier from a our school literature book to Sir with love back in 1987 in Botswana, ever since that day im so fond of him, his movies are very good and shows everyday life, the good and the bad
I saw "To Sir with Love", "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" and "In the Heat of the Night" in the movies when I was a teenager. My favorite lines: Sherriff: What they call you up there boy? Poitier: THEY CALL ME MR. TIBBS!!!
This film dealt with a LOT of issues 1950 America would have rather not have faced. I can imagine it's reception. Kudos to Poitier AND Widmark for opening doors, however slightly. Guys like Widmark, Kirk Douglas, Ida Lupino, Bogie, Dalton Trumbo and the like deserve credit for standing up for what was right against racism, sexism, and anti communist hysteria.
RIP, Mr. Poitier. Have seen your great films several times - except this one. "In the heat of the night" was also great, also the Ray Charles with the same name.
Yes, still strong only among Democrats, though and racist Hollywood. They never identified where this drama occurred. During 1950 the only place you would find such violence would have been in the Dixiecrat South. It wasn't until after the Civil Rights Act was passed did this violence spread to the larger cities.
@@Dobie_Gillis Have you noticed, whites calling the cops on melanin colored people doing normal things of which white people do everyday? There are many white people as Democrats. So your "only among Democrats" is reaching. And does not fit the facts.
@@theodethomasa6358 So? Is that an act of violence? What you are citing is a minuscule portion of human life that goes on everyday and the media owned by globalists are magnifying this and ramming it into your brain, which you have accepted. When I meet with black conservatives it's an experience you will never know. There is never ever mention of racism and victimhood by anyone because we are all free individuals. We don't belong to any group. We speak the same language of freedom and values. Today what we are getting are not race riots but racist Marxist groups like Black Lives Matter that set fire to towns and destroy property because the local Democrat governments are supporting them and let them have their way. White folks are staying home and hiding out. It's time for you to wake up and join what's left of this free country once known as USA.
@@Dobie_Gillis Google this. " Black Wall Street". The term was used until the Tulsa race riot of 1921. The name has also been applied more generally to districts of African American high economic activity. Historically, African Americans worked mainly as servants in Tulsa, where they developed their own insular society with its own economy. White privilege was your birth gift. Enjoy it. And don't spout off to me about Black Lives Matter that set fire to towns and destroy property, when whites did the same thing. As for an act of violence? It has never stopped against melanin people! But when they fight back, Caucasian want to play the victim card. Take off the blinders and see if racist still deny it is still happening. But I don't believe you will. Your white privilege will not allow you to see things as they really are. Now days calling a cop on a black person can result in the death of that person. Your meeting with black conservatives, and they never said anything about it? Then good for them. You don't know what experience I had, so don't pat your self on the back with that. My experience in the past is more than you could know. I've NEVER felt free in Amerikkka! As a closing comment, nothing was rammed in to my brain like the child hood of hard times I suffered from white privilege racist.
What a compelling film, Sidney Poitier is exceptional, as is Linda Darnell, whose character evolves, love the kitchen scene with Amanda Randolph at 1:11:49, who is also terrific.
I read somewhere that Richard Widmark apologized to Sidney after just about every scene that they the two appeared in. He felt guilty about the racial slurs he said to him while they were shooting the scenes , even though it was of course just dramatization.
TCM: :Poitier and Widmark struck up an immediate friendship and respectful partnership, with Poitier dubbing the actor "the most pleasant and refreshing surprise in my initial exposure to the Hollywood scene. The reality of Widmark was a thousand miles from the characters he played." In fact, the relationship was so respectful that Widmark felt compelled to apologize after each take in which he mistreated Poitier, both verbally and physically."
@@steveparadis2978 The thing is that Widmark played this role so earnestly and with so much conviction that you actually believed that he really was a pyschotic racist. But I guess that just speaks volumes about his exceptional acting ability.
Yes, Widmark did apologize, but Poitier said to Widmark, who was his friend, "don't worry, it's only acting". Sidney was no punk, he knew prejudice, real racism, when he saw it, and when he felt it. Also, Widmark did not write the dialog, the screenwriter wrote the dialog. It's acting!
I have become obsessed with a woman whose prime was in the 1940s'.Linda Darnell. When she is on the screen I see only her. She should have been huge but because she wouldn't sleep with the studio boss, Darryl Zanuck, she had a hard time. Makes ya sick.
I never saw this movie before but read about it on Wikipedia. When I read what the last line of the movie was, I had to see it for myself. Just the last scene. Wow...
Because certain statistics are too inconvenient for politicians and the people who would be in position to properly diagnose and address the issues of today, which most are, while still disheartening, obviously and understandably different from those of that era.
All actors were top and brilliant. A film that made you ethically judge yourself afterwards. A gem in the archives of all the films. My favourite actor S. Potier, Rip.
I have just watched a bio on Richard Widmark and it was said that Widmark and Poitier did not know each other well at the time but Widmark would apologise profusely after each take for his comments, saying he had nothing but respect for him and coloured people. Poitier and Widmark became very close long life friends after doing the movie No Way Out. A great movie with two very great actors, I assume all would agree.
Oh I like Sidney very very much I don't know how one person could have so much hate in their heart I do know that if you don't have Jesus Christ in your heart there is no love for anyone whether white or black my fiance is an African-American and I am proud to be his soon to be wife and I have African American children that I adopted and I am proud to be their mother black people are beautiful just like white or any other color I hope we can all learn something from this God bless
The scene when Dr. Brooks was trying to treat a patient and the mother runs up to Dr. Brooks and spits in his face saying she doesn't want a N word/Black man (can't recall exactly what she said but we all know what she meant) treating her son. Mind you this is all playing out in a hospital observed by all white people. Now doesn't this prove how ignorant and insane this woman is to not want her child to be saved by a doctor? The silence of everyone, the looks and even when Sidney wiped his face from her spit was all that was needed to share how ignorance KILLS because some people are so immersed in their hate that they cannot even allow someone to save their loved one. Brilliant brilliant film and for this to be produced in 1950 is incredible. This was at the the heart of the Jim Crow Laws in the USA (separate but equal - signs that said Colored Only/White Only -- separate everything). So much I can say about all this but this is a film that must be seen by everyone especially now in this heated battle of discussing and dissecting racism across the globe. All the Karens/Amys/Beckys (and anyone else who fits in this category) must watch this film on repeat!! This film was made before the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education (ruled that public schools must be integrated), before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and before the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement when Rosa Parks was arrested for sitting at the front of the bus in Montgomery Alabama in December 1955. The director and writers of this film were visionaries! I give all props to Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Lesser Samuels and Philip Yordan for writing this film. And of course all the acting was phenomenal. Everyone was a class act! So happy to see a young Ossie Davis and young Ruby Dee!! I'm fortunate that I met Sidney Poitier in 1988 when I was 14. He told me to make sure to finish school and to get a college education. He even told me to major in English. I followed his advice and have always wanted to tell him to his face THANK YOU. I even graduated from law school. I hope we all can serve as a model to uplift others!! Thanks so much for posting this film.
Excellent movie. Sidney Poitier gives his typical wonderful performance and we get to see Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis when they were really young. Richard Widmark is amazing as a prejudiced degenerate slimeball (Is there anyone this man can't play?He can play a saint or a slimeball or anyone in between!) Zero political correctness in this film. Along with the expected smoking and drinking of the time, there is the unapologetic prejudice of whites for blacks with a gruesome race riot scene that was filmed from afar and thankfully kept short.
Linda Darnell‘s bio. Is very interesting, she had a horrible tragic death in her early 40s. Anyway, this was a great movie and she did a fabulous job in it. Thank you.
Unbelievable movie for 1950 wow a young Sidney Poitier Richard widmark he played his part so well I didn't like him. Very powerful movie may they all rest in peace this movie should resurface again
Definitely very polarized characters. Insane and depressing that in today's world, you really would find people making such awful statements, just updated with today's vocabulary.
They agreed with the core message in the movie of course. Movies represent the general sentiment of the public typically, THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL A PRODUCT.
Sidney rest in peace. You changed the world in many ways. Praying for your family.
Amen I echo your sentiment
"I don't want him, I want a White doctor."
"I'll turn the lights off, you won't tell the difference"
*The dialogue in this movie is brilliant!*
Yes, the line "I can't kill a man just because he hates me" is rather powerful.

I also love this great movie I have seen it 50 times❤
This was very a very daring picture for 1950 but it was a much needed and beautiful picture👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I was blessed to meet Sydney at our Elementary School in South Central La, when I was young . Still remember those days.

I'd challenge Darnell on that. Fallen Angel and Hangover Square had merit, even though Dana Andrews was miscast opposite her in the former.
How was it brave?
I'd rank her performance in 'A Letter to Three Wives' up there as one of her best.
Poitier was purposefully selected because he was a Tom wholly unthreatening to white folks.
James Edwards and Juano Hernandez were better actors but fragile white audiences were scared and uncomfortable so they were supplanted by profit-maximizing Poitier. Check out Intruder in the Dust and Home of the Brave...
When I think of what he had to go through while filming this movie........Endured for future generations. God bless you always Mr. Poitier.
This is a great film noir, and it's a shame it doesn't get the recognition it deserves in that genre.
guess it's up to us fans to recommend it to everyone we know until finally more people start watching it
Wow, I had never heard of this movie until I read Sidney Poitier's obituary this morning, terrific cast, terrific movie and some good music interspersed, several Duke Ellington tunes.
Now go watch Blackboard Jungle

I can't believe this movie was made over 70 years. I believe Sydney Poitier is in his 90s now. This is a good movie!
He is dead now in 2022 if you looked up on the internet.

So true. His eyes are amazing!
So much time has passed and so little has changed.
They don't make movies like this anymore - certainly today's networks wouldn't run it - they'd get sued.But today's society would identify with it.
We now have to dig up dead movies no longer made to address current social issues - because we no longer want to address them.
Because certain statistics are too inconvenient for politicians and the people who would be in position to properly diagnose and address the issues of today, which most are, while still disheartening, obviously and understandably different from those of that era.
Great movie. Great actors. Thanks for sharing. Loved it.
Sidney Poitier movies are all well done.
All actors were top and brilliant.
A film that made you ethically judge yourself afterwards. A gem in the archives of all the films. My favourite actor S. Potier, Rip.
I have just watched a bio on Richard Widmark and it was said that Widmark and Poitier did not know each other well at the time but Widmark would apologise profusely after each take for his comments, saying he had nothing but respect for him and coloured people. Poitier and Widmark became very close long life friends after doing the movie No Way Out. A great movie with two very great actors, I assume all would agree.
WONDERFUL movie! RIP Mr. Poitier.
Great super for “ SIDNEY❤ RIP MY BROTHER
Great movie !!
Oh I like Sidney very very much I don't know how one person could have so much hate in their heart I do know that if you don't have Jesus Christ in your heart there is no love for anyone whether white or black my fiance is an African-American and I am proud to be his soon to be wife and I have African American children that I adopted and I am proud to be their mother black people are beautiful just like white or any other color I hope we can all learn something from this God bless
Amen ✝🕊🙏🏻💞
jesus has nothing to do with love... dont confuse corrupt religions with love
@@mindsoulpowerIs religious bigotry contagious?
The scene when Dr. Brooks was trying to treat a patient and the mother runs up to Dr. Brooks and spits in his face saying she doesn't want a N word/Black man (can't recall exactly what she said but we all know what she meant) treating her son. Mind you this is all playing out in a hospital observed by all white people. Now doesn't this prove how ignorant and insane this woman is to not want her child to be saved by a doctor? The silence of everyone, the looks and even when Sidney wiped his face from her spit was all that was needed to share how ignorance KILLS because some people are so immersed in their hate that they cannot even allow someone to save their loved one. Brilliant brilliant film and for this to be produced in 1950 is incredible. This was at the the heart of the Jim Crow Laws in the USA (separate but equal - signs that said Colored Only/White Only -- separate everything). So much I can say about all this but this is a film that must be seen by everyone especially now in this heated battle of discussing and dissecting racism across the globe. All the Karens/Amys/Beckys (and anyone else who fits in this category) must watch this film on repeat!! This film was made before the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education (ruled that public schools must be integrated), before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and before the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement when Rosa Parks was arrested for sitting at the front of the bus in Montgomery Alabama in December 1955. The director and writers of this film were visionaries! I give all props to Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Lesser Samuels and Philip Yordan for writing this film. And of course all the acting was phenomenal. Everyone was a class act! So happy to see a young Ossie Davis and young Ruby Dee!! I'm fortunate that I met Sidney Poitier in 1988 when I was 14. He told me to make sure to finish school and to get a college education. He even told me to major in English. I followed his advice and have always wanted to tell him to his face THANK YOU. I even graduated from law school. I hope we all can serve as a model to uplift others!! Thanks so much for posting this film.
41:09 what a great actress and an amazing monologue.
Excellent movie. Sidney Poitier gives his typical wonderful performance and we get to see Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis when they were really young. Richard Widmark is amazing as a prejudiced degenerate slimeball (Is there anyone this man can't play?He can play a saint or a slimeball or anyone in between!) Zero political correctness in this film. Along with the expected smoking and drinking of the time, there is the unapologetic prejudice of whites for blacks with a gruesome race riot scene that was filmed from afar and thankfully kept short.
Linda Darnell‘s bio. Is very interesting, she had a horrible tragic death in her early 40s. Anyway, this was a great movie and she did a fabulous job in it. Thank you.
so underrated
I'm watching it now 1/15/2022 for the 1st.time
Best movie ever made
Mr. Poitier was such an excellent example of humanness, civility, and manliness. He was a great example of excellence for all seasons!
"Don't cry White boy, you're gonna live" one of the best lines I never expect to end the movie with this movie had an emotional effect on me
RIP Sidney Poitier 🙏🏾🕊💔💐
Both Mildred Joanne Smith (playing Dr. Brooks' wife) and Sidney Poitier lived to age 94.
We're Love No Way Out And We're Love Miss Sidney Poitier Too Rest in Peace

“Don't cry, white boy, you're gonna live” 😂😂😂
i have always liked sidney poitier. he was a great actor.
Sydney Poitier Is Masterful
An Classical Artist by The Name Of Benjamin Clementine
Bears A Strong Resemblance To A Young Poitier.
Definitely very polarized characters. Insane and depressing that in today's world, you really would find people making such awful statements, just updated with today's vocabulary.
Classic Noir!
Nice upload!
This movie was very progressive for its time. I wonder how an average viewer experienced this movie when it came out?
Indeed.
They agreed with the core message in the movie of course. Movies represent the general sentiment of the public typically, THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL A PRODUCT.
