Thank you for posting this. My father Alfred Grant, played the character of Gaines. I can still remember as a 6 year kid going to the opening in Hollywood.
Love how the sheriff was a man of his own character and stood his ground for what he believed was right for the sake of the child and not for the sake of both race, truly an amazing strong man who was created to lead an army, he was the crossroads to getting results, love the Father prayer at the end
Remember, after everyone got to running & fighting ... they actually forgot about the child & how it all started! Folks often lose perspective when they get riled up and anger has a life of its own. This was a good movie that is sadly appropriate, especially right now in the midst of COVID & protests all over the country. Praying for peace ...
Practice what you preach. The issue is innocent black murder by white people not protests. The issue is why are they protesting. The protests are a response to unarmed unwarranted murders.
"Pray for Peace", are you f'ing kidding me. Try praying for a demilitarized police force, an end to murdering young black men, an end to racism, an end to the fool in the White House. 2020, vote him out. If the election is stolen from us and that fascist, racist isn't removed from office there are going to be major protests and they won't be pretty and as a 70 year old white (I'm not Karen) woman I plan on handing out the matches.
It was something how they told that man, they found the kid, and he said, what kid? Then it dawned on him how it all started. They had forgotten about her.
Good drama. This shows you what human nature is capable when lies and fear rules you to destruction, and then when there is hope how you can do positive things. Question for the writer; why wasn’t there a search for the little girl from the beginning 🤷🏽♀️ 😉 just saying 😉

Literally JUMPED right into the Action 😉😁lol,but this movie is a Sheer Classic about upcoming middle class Black and White living ,working ,playing ,and, learning together 😊🤩😘
This movie is as intense as it gets. There is not one single moment when you can relax or go get a glass of water, even in the beginning. If you miss the beginning, you've missed the entire movie. In addition, just when you think it's over, it starts all over again. It's great! I can see why it was nominated for two Academy Awards.

"No Way Out" from 1950 is another film from the "classic Hollywood" era (and definitely one of the best) to deal with American racial prejudice, featuring Sidney Poitier in one of his earliest roles, and directed and co-scripted by Joseph Mankiewicz (probably best-remembered for "All About Eve" from the same year). "No Way Out" is currently up on RUclips, in its entirety, here: ruclips.net/video/gklUlDEf9uM/видео.html
I wish I could have crawled into this movie so I could slap the shit out of that priest - he stood at the door of his church and kept that young black man from entering to give him refuge...smdh
Between 60-65 yrs ago I saw this movie! It made such an impact on me concerning my attitudes towards racism and prejudice. I thought of it often as I aged but didn't even remember the name of it. Can't tell you how excited I was to find it on RUclips. Thank you for posting.
I actually met the little kid (boy with the dog) in the movie who found the little girl in the well. I met him in the Spring of 1979 in school. He was a substitute teacher for my Spanish class at Bret Harte Junior High in Los Angeles, California. He talked about this movie more than teaching Spanish. It just so happened the movie was on one late night and he told the entire class to watch it. I stayed up late to watch it (pass my bed time). Once I saw my substitute teacher in the movie, I went to sleep. Therefore, in 1979 I didn't see the entire movie. As a kid, it never dawned on me this movie was also about racial tensions. I never noticed any of the racial slurs either back in the 9th grade. Looking at this movie currently at the age of 56 versus back then at the age 14, I would say this was a pretty good movie that shows how a town can be destroyed overnight when few people let their emotions take over them by not looking at certain people as people.
It surely doesn't seem like 51. But why didn't this sentiment continue 🤔 i just don't understand. But thinking about it. Why did black people have to invent crazy names ? If you want to assimilate into society why name your children outrageous names that only held them back another 30 yrs. I believe crack was designed to destroy blacks much like the opiates were to destroy whites. My granddaughter is part black. I love her so.
Why? I started school in ATlanta Ga in 1956. I looked at my class pic the other day and there were two "black" children in my class. There was no bussing. One kid appeared to be Hispanic also. SO you cant believe everything you hear. Or suspect.There was integrated schools in the deep south in the 50s.
@@ziblot1235 yes there were. But if you had any money you really didn't see it until school choice and bussing came to be. And im talking Florida in the 80s. By the time my son was in elementary school he was the minority and he just only told me recently that in middle school he was terrified because of hispanic gangs. My mother thought it was cool to keep him in public school. That dumb stupid liberal made him go and now I find out what hell he was put through.
@@kellysims5732 yes, why didn't it continue. It's disheartening how ppl can literally hate another bc of the color of your skin. Every man will be accountable for their actions and have to answer to God🙏🏼
@@marissablackwell531 Thank you for your comment. My daughter in law is mixed, my son is white and they have a beautiful daughter . I just became a grandmother!

i'm 22 and i appreciate seeing these type of films so much! they're never shown on tv nor are we informed about them. i'm happy i stumbled upon this channel.
I've been looking for this movie for years. It is as timely as it is timeless...not too mention pretty groundbreaking considering the era it was filmed in and it's subject matter. Thanks for uploading!
It’s amazing how ignorant people can be - no matter if you’re white, black or any color/race. But it’s more amazing how loving we can be if we set aside ALL the HATE. It’s not hard people ❤️❤️❤️
Well, not exactly. The majority of the people on the streets are African Americans who genuinely hope to bring justice to bear, not "destroy a town". There are detractors for sure, but the protests are a beautiful thing. Only a small number want to make trouble.
these were different circumstances, and you well know that, so dont come here as if the protesters arent justified, the rioters and looters have their own agenda that have nothing about justice.
What a talented generation of actors they were. They possessed real skill of portraying rising tensions, express awkward guilt, gleam with heroism, blossom with affection, all with the simplest of efforts. Now days a movie isn't a movie without a lot of noise, sex and jug-heads.
My mom was born in 1938 and she told me she and her siblings always walked to school in N.C. She said in was 1 miles each day. She said the only time they got a ride from her dad was when it was raining. Praises to the Lord that he protected them in that time of jim crow.
Yes, I remember Baby Jessica. And this movie was based on another baby in a well disaster. However, that baby died in the well before they could bring her up. Too sad.
Loved it! Beauty in a few things, 1) the bond in a black family, 2) the strength of community- (black & white), 3) the integrity of law enforcement and most of all, the humanity that is ultimately present in everyone.
Great Film. I agree, it should be seen in schools and let the children write an evaluation. This film can be paralleled to the current times. We all have our initial reactions and later condemned when the truth comes out. However, there is inner good in all of us and based on circumstances, we all can come together and work in harmony.
@C Mont I hate to kill a mockingbird. The white savior of the black man. Make the white man feel good. I had a bi racial Child and they did this book in class and she had to sit there and while it was read out loud and hear the n word over 40 times. Then hear the white ignorant kids say the word in the hallways. Taught the white kids nothing except to feel superior. And I'm white BTW. Would much rather a book written by a black author with black perspective read in class like ruby bridges
I am a huge fan of TCM and old movies. I’ve NEVER heard of this movie and the themes are still relevant in 2021. I hope the ending teaches us that in the end, love and unity is the way. It’s nice to see Harry Morgan as a young man.
We also walked to school.11Km to school and back.Had so much fun along the way,picking wild fruit in the season.The world is messed up today.Our children are living in prison like conditions.No freedom.My heart breaks for all children living today.They will never get to experience the freedom we enjoyed
Now seem like the movie took a turn I thought that it was a good movie and now. people is telling untruth I uh please no one is perfect but please try your best tobe truth ful. Who push the sheriff down🤥🚗
I just got in touch again with my best friend from age 9. We were part of a small group of girls, me , her , another girl and her little sister. We both thought it remarkable that all the times We spent together after school and all the slumber parties on nights and weekends and i honestly could NOT remember her mother and never remember her Mom or the sisters Mom AT ALL. And we hung out constantly for 2-3 years. Our Moms were always working and we were latch key kids in the late 70s.
Rosemary Aldana Glad I’m not the only one, I cringe when I hear that word. I really don’t understand what makes it ok just because you are black. I am black and have never considered myself a N.
The white guy sure didn't take his time about getting all that Machinery into place. For crying out loud a little girl's life is at stake! Otherwise a very pointed movie and I posted it on my Facebook feed.
WOW! Intense from start to finish! Couldn't be more relavant to current events today. The mob mentality, gossip, and racism, then neighborly love, all illustrated perfectly! You will not be disappointed in this! Incredible!
it was pure for the time, pure love, pure anger , like my hero the saint Dr Martin Luther King Jr said years later I have a dream! and I believe we still do❤❤❤ 🌏✝️
Yes how ironic that the man accused of hurting the small child was the one who saved the lil girl's life! fyi: I was 5yrs.old back in 1960 and yes I did walk a mighty long way to and from school. Ideals, morals and life were a lot different and the world seemed more safe back then. My opinion😇
This is for sure a much needed movie to see, during this time, esp the end where both races came together with a heart, of one, focusing on the rescue of the little girl.
Me Denise. LoL it was reckon to me to never new any of this growing up thank God for Dad and MOM from keeping 🙏 things like this from their kids as best they could . This movie I need to stop looking at my blood pressure I want it to be in good health. This movie has to much ups And downs . No Satan Go back to were you come from I Love people IAM not going to by into this . Right now no body mad but the devil .
I saw this movie in film school 1983..a fine example of Hollywood trying to do its part. Bad things happen when people react without dialogue, but amazing things can happen when we act as one. Thank you again ReelBlack for taking our pulse, and setting the pace.✊🏿❤️
I remembered watching this movie more than 40 years ago, I never forgot this movie but couldn't remember the name. So happy to see it again, it moved me back then and it's still emotional to watch even today.
That 🐕 tho..... he is the real hero in this movie. For those of us that walk with two legs, need to be ashamed of ourselves. And the last time I checked, we all have the same color blood, we all chew with teeth, sneeze with our nose, see with our eyes and hear with our ears. But yet refuse to use our common sense. Clap for yourselves humans.
LoL at your comments never seen are hear of a movie like this Wow not much has change. This is August 20/20 And our extended family was concern about us back then I know it to be true IAM a living witness 🙏let's love one another .
Yeah, I loved Maidie Norman. What a great actress. Even when she was leaning over the hole with her butt up in the air, she evinced dignity. In fact, she made a special point of showing dignity in every acting role.....throughout her career, she absolutely refused to play stereotypical behavior, or to let herself be mocked or humiliated. Both as an actress and as a human being, she showed grace and self-respect.
You have to remember many of these people are still alive even if they are old, they passed down their views to their children...who are still here perpetuating the hate But let's look at the positive side of the movie. They bonded to find the child .
They were willing to kill every black person in town because White men, gave the police the description of a White man with the little girl? They parents didn't even know who told the police about the unknown suspect. So sad. This is still happening today in 2020 with our President as the Ringleader..
Yeah, me too. Remember back then, if your mom didn't scold you for something, the other moms would! They'd be hollering out the window, "You looking for (kid's name)? He just ran through my backyard and he's heading to the corner drugstore!" Then they'd yell at you. Then your mom would say, "Wait til your father gets home!" All the parents knew each other's kids, their ages, even their grades at school, and the names of their pets....that was back when everyone had either a Collie or a German Shepherd....nobody had ever heard of Labradoodles and Yorkipoos and such. And remember the police? We greeted them on the street and called them Officer Bob, Officer Billy, Officer Joe, whatever, and they knew all of us by name, and they knew our families and who lived in which house, and they'd pet our dogs, and ask us how was school, and such. That was back in the days of Mercurochrome, and metal roller skates with keys.
@@tab9773 Oh, I wish I still had my roller skates! I had to share them with my little sister. Eventually, I outgrew them, my sister lost the key and I guess they rusted and got thrown out. I would've liked to let my grandchildren at least see those skates and how they worked. Most young people don't know what a skate key is, let alone that they clamped onto your hard sole shoes. 👵
MY MY MY, HOW GOD MUST LOVE IT WHEN HE LOOKS DOWN AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH WE VALUE 'LIFE" WHEN ALL SHADES GET TOGETHER TO "SAVE A PRECIOUS LIFE"!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL, SHEER BEAUTY, REELBLACK, THANKS.
I was 4 years old, when I saw this movie on a night time airing. My parents were sleeping so I stayed up to watch TV, the minute I saw the little girl disappear I was involved with the story. Never forgot The Well.
Must see movie. This should have won an Oscar award or nomination. Moral story not to be impulsive. The mother riveting emotions in her performance and the actors were all great.
This vitally important movie is as fresh today as when it was released, nearly 70 years ago. It deserves to be in the Library of Congress' National Registry.
Thanks for this film. I never heard of this movie before or its Oscar nominations. I've seen Phoenix City (?) as a child and A Time to Kill with Samuel Jackson, which reflect some of the sources of the frustration we're living through currently. Big up Reel Black 🙏🏾👍🏾
Could you imagine watching this movie in 1951 when it premiered?! Brave souls were responsible for making this important classic. And the sad thing is racial tensions haven't changed that much in 60+ years.
Thank you! I remember requesting the title from you and telling you about my mother introducing the movie to me as a little girl when it came on TV. You’re the reel deal!
"Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world." Ralph Waldo Emerson This story is still actual even today. It's so sad, 70 years have passed and little has changed.
Guess you see the negative , I saw ppl who came together for a child’s sake , skin tone has nothing to do with it … seems like we here now , our children can n will unite us all …. Love has a way
Thank you for uploading one of the greatest Hollywood films dealing with race relations. This independent film was the sleeper kit of 1951 and launched the career of one of Hollywood’s most distinguished character actress, Maidie Norman. Although best remember as the ill fated no nonsense maid in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962), it wasn’t until Ivan Dixon cast her in the 1974 version of Harry Hayes Dean’s riveting play Sty of The Blind Pig, that gave her the opportunity to Star along side Mary Alice in a TV movie. The story of a mother and daughter trying to survive at the beginning of the Civil Rights movement in Chicago is Norman’s greatest performance, a fitting sequel to The Well, and I hope you can locate and upload this amazing movie on your fantastic channel.
A film about how rumours could have destroyed a community, but when they came today despite their race - it was all good. Had a smile on my face. Well done in bringing these movies to us I am hooked😀
Was "The Well' screened in Mississippi because four years later Emmett Till was murdered and his assailants were aquitted. In fact, the woman who caused the attack is alive in South Carolina where she confessed Till's innocence in a book, 'The Blood of Emmett Till' - Timothy Tyson. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come to give life and it more abundantly. John 10:10 #GlorytoJesus
@shwat2013 speak for yourself....I'm indigenous to this land, aborigine and can prove it. I wonder if you can prove your lineage is from west Africa or is that what history books and other people told you.
Hey anybody on here old enough to remember the TV series Dragnet? the guy they were accusing , of taking the child was Joe Friday's partner how ironic! 🙄
I was 8 years old when this movie was made. I had been walking to school by myself since I was 5. I had no problems at all, walking by myself and I lived in NYC. We didn’t have school buses. When we went to high school we travelled on public transportation, subways and trains. 😁
I do love the way this movie ended, with all of them getting together to save that little girl,,, Of course that is only in the movies, not real life, When the system does a person wrong they never apologize and no attorney will go up against the government especially for a poor black woman,
Thanks for telling the ending I was horrified when the child dropped into the well and stopped the video to read the comments to see if a commentor would allude to the child's fate. Otherwise I wouldn't continue viewing if the girl died
As much ugliness is portrayed in this movie I hope it's not banned ever - jys important for young people especially to see and know how things were (and yes ARE still). I'm a bit discouraged seeing the comments citing how things haven't changed - they most certainly have but obviously not enough, by a LONG SHOT...
Thank you for uploading this movie, I used to watch on the all night movies , Channel 11 , KTTV , Los Angeles. I think the movie is partly based on Kathy Fiscus. She was the little girl who fell in a well in San Marino, Ca. It happened in April 1949 , and the nation waited anxiously for her to be rescued. Sadly , little Kathy died and the nation was saddened by her death. The story was covered by radio , newspapers and in Los Angeles , Channel 5 ,KTLA had television coverage of this tragedy. I remember my mother mentioned Kathy's death as we watched this movie.
No it doesn't. This movie depicts an organically & spontaneous uprising. What's going on today are organized & funded by dark nefarious sources. The antagonists are paid & rarely have anything to do with a current situation.
Several years after this , Maidie Norman also played the housekeeper in the classic `Whatever Happened to BabyJane? `, unfortunately she was killed by Bettie Davis in that movie... Miss Norman was a fine actress.
Yeah it’s like the Jessica McClure story. I was pregnant with my own daughter when Jessica fell in that well. I watched every second of that on television. I’m glad in this story that the town came together to save her too. Thank you for sharing this with us. God Bless and stay safe.
@@FaithandNova Don't worry BLM is working on it for you! By the way BLM isn't really about blk lives it's a Marxist totalitarian regime funded by white Communists! The total pkg of oppression.
This movie is a lesson that everyone should see especially in this day and age when some of us don’t know how we got here being civil to each other it’s filmed in my home town and I’m proud to see it over and over again
Amazing what can be accomplished when people, no matter their ethnicity, set aside their hate and grievances and work TOGETHER for the GOOD of ALL. 🗽🗽🗽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌏🌍🌏
A little bit of trivia: Maidie Norman made her film debut in the 1947 all black cast film The Peanut Man, which starred Clarence Muse and Ernest Anderson. It was the first technicolor all black cast film ever made and today is considered a lost film. Earnest made his screen debut in the 1942 classic In This Our Life, in which Bette Davis wrongfully accused of murder. Ironically one of his last screen appearances was as the Ice Cream attendant who meets the crazed Bette Davis, near the end of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, after she has killed the Maidie Norman character. Earnest famously tells the cops “Hell of a way for a Colored woman to get her name in the paper!” I think he gave up on Hollywood after his appearance in the film. Maidie never gave up and was inducted in Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1977. Ernest should have been inducted but never was.
Mr.Anderson's role in this our life a young black man accused of a fatal hit and run,that Bette Davis did,I'll never forget him in the jail cell,he was so done and kept repeating the truth ain't gonna help me,it ain't no use in this world.I'm sure their are men saying the same thing now 2020.
Little house on the prairie had am episode with Carrie falling in a well and the town's outcast was the one with the knowledge and skill to get her out.
Thank you for posting this. My father Alfred Grant, played the character of Gaines. I can still remember as a 6 year kid going to the opening in Hollywood.
😊 was he in another movies
The Sheriff and the white guy accused of hurting the girl were in the musical State Fair. They were big actors.
Ken Grant , What a great life story ! How exciting for any child .
This is awesome!! Great job by your Father!!!
What's shucking an jiving???
Love how the sheriff was a man of his own character and stood his ground for what he believed was right for the sake of the child and not for the sake of both race, truly an amazing strong man who was created to lead an army, he was the crossroads to getting results, love the Father prayer at the end

This film shows what can be achieved when people put aside racial prejudice and work together.
T TV M jo ok

I've been looking for this movie for years. It is as timely as it is timeless...not too mention pretty groundbreaking considering the era it was filmed in and it's subject matter. Thanks for uploading!
It’s amazing how ignorant people can be - no matter if you’re white, black or any color/race. But it’s more amazing how loving we can be if we set aside ALL the HATE. It’s not hard people ❤️❤️❤️
This is the best comment out of 1.8 . The buck starts & stops right HERE...

God’s yes 👂🏾👁🌈⚖️👁👂🏾🌏🤗🇺🇸
It’s hard for some. Just saying
Well said 👍
This is how easy mobs and riots can destroy a town, it’s happening right now in our country!!
SO TRUE!
The whole point of the movie. Lies and gossip can only serve to destroy
Riots have reasons good governance would hear and change before it gets ugly.
Well, not exactly. The majority of the people on the streets are African Americans who genuinely hope to bring justice to bear, not "destroy a town". There are detractors for sure, but the protests are a beautiful thing. Only a small number want to make trouble.
these were different circumstances, and you well know that, so dont come here as if the protesters arent justified, the rioters and looters have their own agenda that have nothing about justice.
I can't believe I've never heard of this movie! I am in tears. I can see why it was a 2x oscar nominee...should have won both times!!
What a talented generation of actors they were. They possessed real skill of portraying rising tensions, express awkward guilt, gleam with heroism, blossom with affection, all with the simplest of efforts. Now days a movie isn't a movie without a lot of noise, sex and jug-heads.
😢💔
I can't even imagine a 5 year old walking to school alone, especially in these days!
Right smhhhh smfh
Back in the day it was done and that child had better home it's crazy
I walked to school alone in 1960 California. I was 5 years old.
I did it. In fact I probably did it age 4. I was in kindergarten. Maybe a half mile, but I had ti criss a big street. In 1963.
My mom was born in 1938 and she told me she and her siblings always walked to school in N.C. She said in was 1 miles each day. She said the only time they got a ride from her dad was when it was raining. Praises to the Lord that he protected them in that time of jim crow.
Does anybody remember Jessica McClure. She was a 18 month old the fell down a well in Midland Texas 1987.
walkbyfaith remember it well and the sad part of that is the guy who actually rescued her ended up committing suicide years later
How sad I didn't know that
I remember. Glued to the TV and she was awake when they brought her out. I think the parents were teenagers.
I thought of Jessica the entire time I watched this movie!
Yes, I remember Baby Jessica.
And this movie was based on another baby in a well disaster. However, that baby died in the well before they could bring her up. Too sad.
Hate and racism destroy lives, relationships, communities and countries. Love covers a multitude of sins
Amen. Love never fails. God bless you for sharing the gospel. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD
Amen
Love covers sins
Amen!
Best comment of 2021 for me!!!!!🤍🖤💛🤎 Love wins!
Loved it! Beauty in a few things, 1) the bond in a black family, 2) the strength of community- (black & white), 3) the integrity of law enforcement and most of all, the humanity that is ultimately present in everyone.
Make All Your Choices Wisely.
Loved the film. I think it should be played in schools along with 'To kill A Mocking Bird'...
Those 2 books and anything by John Steinbeck
Great Film. I agree, it should be seen in schools and let the children write an evaluation. This film can be paralleled to the current times. We all have our initial reactions and later condemned when the truth comes out. However, there is inner good in all of us and based on circumstances, we all can come together and work in harmony.
Oh yea To Kill A Mockingbird was a great movie
@@jacquelyndavis6493 One of my favorite movies!!!
@C Mont I hate to kill a mockingbird. The white savior of the black man. Make the white man feel good. I had a bi racial Child and they did this book in class and she had to sit there and while it was read out loud and hear the n word over 40 times. Then hear the white ignorant kids say the word in the hallways. Taught the white kids nothing except to feel superior. And I'm white BTW. Would much rather a book written by a black author with black perspective read in class like ruby bridges
I am a huge fan of TCM and old movies. I’ve NEVER heard of this movie and the themes are still relevant in 2021. I hope the ending teaches us that in the end, love and unity is the way. It’s nice to see Harry Morgan as a young man.
We also walked to school.11Km to school and back.Had so much fun along the way,picking wild fruit in the season.The world is messed up today.Our children are living in prison like conditions.No freedom.My heart breaks for all children living today.They will never get to experience the freedom we enjoyed
I very much appreciate this comment
Now seem like the movie took a turn I thought that it was a good movie and now. people is telling untruth I uh please no one is perfect but please try your best tobe truth ful. Who push the sheriff down🤥🚗

I just got in touch again with my best friend from age 9. We were part of a small group of girls, me , her , another girl and her little sister. We both thought it remarkable that all the times We spent together after school and all the slumber parties on nights and weekends and i honestly could NOT remember her mother and never remember her Mom or the sisters Mom AT ALL. And we hung out constantly for 2-3 years.
Our Moms were always working and we were latch key kids in the late 70s.
I don't even like people saying the N word to each other even if they are the same race..
Me either. It really bothers me when I hear that word
Me too,it's degrading
Rosemary Aldana Glad I’m not the only one, I cringe when I hear that word. I really don’t understand what makes it ok just because you are black. I am black and have never considered myself a N.
Everyone needs respect regardless of skin colour.
The white guy sure didn't take his time about getting all that Machinery into place. For crying out loud a little girl's life is at stake! Otherwise a very pointed movie and I posted it on my Facebook feed.
When the Pastor started the Lord's Prayer, tears. Wonderful movie.
josen4real this is the way we should come together as one nation under God
Tears were streaming down my face..
How Can We Say That We Love God , WHO WE HAVE NOT SEEN, AND HATE OUR BROTHER THAT WE SEE EVERYDAY ? 🤔😞😢
The pastor might have been wise to have known for certain that the girl was dead before starting the prayer. Just sayin
This movie is timeless. What lessons it teaches us. I am glad I have seen it.
I love the part when Casey pops that man in the head with a frying pan... she was like... not here you're not 😭😭😭😭
See what we can do if we all work and stay together
The pan handle was bent afterwards. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah gave’em the ‘ol anesthetic! 😂
WOW! Intense from start to finish! Couldn't be more relavant to current events today. The mob mentality, gossip, and racism, then neighborly love, all illustrated perfectly! You will not be disappointed in this! Incredible!
The acting from the past was wonderful, and the clothes. I just loved this film. So entertained.
The man they are accusing is Harry Morgan from MASH!
Absolutely!!
The message is a serious one racism and hate segregation took over the child plight was secondary.
WHITE FOLKS STILL RACIST
It takes a village, gosh this movie needs to be shown all over .
Hate and racism destroy lives, relationships, communities and countries. Love covers a multitude of sins
I didn't know I had this response! I agree
The little boy and his dog deserve a medal and praise!
I just watched the movie bc of this comment lol. But wow what a good movie.
it was pure for the time, pure love, pure anger , like my hero the saint Dr Martin Luther King Jr said years later I have a dream! and I believe we still do❤❤❤ 🌏✝️
Yes how ironic that the man accused of hurting the small child was the one who saved the lil girl's life! fyi: I was 5yrs.old back in 1960 and yes I did walk a mighty long way to and from school. Ideals, morals and life were a lot different and the world seemed more safe back then. My opinion😇
Your absolutely correct. It was even better in the 80s but now seems to be going backwards in time for us People Of Color
I thought the little boy saved her life
The boy found the child
Margo Holmans nv
I believe it is because as a child we are unlearned of the "real" world.
Only God knows why this movie was recommended to me during these crazy times.😷
You know why....think about right now 2020....
This is for sure a much needed movie to see, during this time, esp the end where both races came together with a heart, of one, focusing on the rescue of the little girl.
Mmhm amen to that !
Me Denise. LoL it was reckon to me to never new any of this growing up thank God for Dad and MOM from keeping 🙏 things like this from their kids as best they could . This movie I need to stop looking at my blood pressure I want it to be in good health. This movie has to much ups And downs . No Satan Go back to were you come from I Love people IAM not going to by into this . Right now no body mad but the devil .
@@c.calliecoleman1531 Thats the way people used to be back in the "prejudiced 50s"
I saw this movie in film school 1983..a fine example of Hollywood trying to do its part. Bad things happen when people react without dialogue, but amazing things can happen when we act as one. Thank you again ReelBlack for taking our pulse, and setting the pace.✊🏿❤️
This isn't just about race relations. It demonstrates the danger and damage of gossip and jumping to conclusions.
EXACTLY!!! There was an episode on the Twilight Zone just like this about how gossip and innuendo destroyed a neighborhood.
Especially when it's about Black people.
Not to mention withholding evidence that is vital to public
Absolutely!!! That's then reason I believe none of what I hear and very little of what I see!!
I remembered watching this movie more than 40 years ago, I never forgot this movie but couldn't remember the name. So happy to see it again, it moved me back then and it's still emotional to watch even today.
reelblack is a national treasure
No doubt!

I love this channel

It's a shame That dog was the ONLY 1 in this movie with some sense 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Right.
The dog and the lady with the frying pan!
Had to laughed, but you are right.
Lol true! And the little boy! 😁
Well, nobody considered the worse. They'd probably forgotten that well was even out there.
That 🐕 tho..... he is the real hero in this movie. For those of us that walk with two legs, need to be ashamed of ourselves. And the last time I checked, we all have the same color blood, we all chew with teeth, sneeze with our nose, see with our eyes and hear with our ears. But yet refuse to use our common sense. Clap for yourselves humans.
And we all shit the same color and it stinks!💩
LoL at your comments never seen are hear of a movie like this Wow not much has change. This is August 20/20 And our extended family was concern about us back then I know it to be true IAM a living witness 🙏let's love one another .
This movie taught me many life lessons. I will be thinking of it for a long time. Thank You and GOD BLESS ALL !!!!!
When I tell you the black woman played that roll, the heart of a real mother is her child!!
Yeah, I loved Maidie Norman. What a great actress. Even when she was leaning over the hole with her butt up in the air, she evinced dignity. In fact, she made a special point of showing dignity in every acting role.....throughout her career, she absolutely refused to play stereotypical behavior, or to let herself be mocked or humiliated. Both as an actress and as a human being, she showed grace and self-respect.
Maybe if we stop to remember what this country is supposed to be all about, we can banish the works of the devil and heal the land.
YT4Me57, What is it supposed to be all about???
@@pennycaldwell8141 Penny that would be found in scripture, 2 Chronicle 7:14.
He gave us the instructions but this evil country will fall because they don't want to heal but remain in deception instead.
You can't heal land that was stolen from aboriginals, the land will stay in morning until it's returned to it's rightful owners...
The dog was the smartest PERSON in the town 😁
BIG FACTS, I SAID THE SAME THING 🤦♀️🤷♀️
FACTS!
Natural instinct to help!
@Don Lee True
That is normally the case.
It is so sad that even in 2020 these thoughts and events still exist!
You have to remember many of these people are still alive even if they are old, they passed down their views to their children...who are still here perpetuating the hate But let's look at the positive side of the movie. They bonded to find the child
.
Not much has happened to stop it. Hate is handed down through the generations.
@Judi Lynn Well said. Sadly, laws and policies were put in place to make things worse after this movie was made. Kudos to the filmmakers on this one.
@@riciaann hatred will be alive and well until Jesus returns, then once this world is destroyed, that will the end of hate and sin. Amen.
They were willing to kill every black person in town because White men, gave the police the description of a White man with the little girl? They parents didn't even know who told the police about the unknown suspect. So sad. This is still happening today in 2020 with our President as the Ringleader..
I lived in a community where the neighbors also looked out for all the children. This is what is meant by "It takes a village to raise a child."
Yeah, me too. Remember back then, if your mom didn't scold you for something, the other moms would! They'd be hollering out the window, "You looking for (kid's name)? He just ran through my backyard and he's heading to the corner drugstore!" Then they'd yell at you. Then your mom would say, "Wait til your father gets home!" All the parents knew each other's kids, their ages, even their grades at school, and the names of their pets....that was back when everyone had either a Collie or a German Shepherd....nobody had ever heard of Labradoodles and Yorkipoos and such. And remember the police? We greeted them on the street and called them Officer Bob, Officer Billy, Officer Joe, whatever, and they knew all of us by name, and they knew our families and who lived in which house, and they'd pet our dogs, and ask us how was school, and such. That was back in the days of Mercurochrome, and metal roller skates with keys.
In our neighborhood everyone watched their neighbors children If you got in trouble your parents were told immediately!
Yes lord 🌏👁⚖️👁🇺🇸
@@tab9773 Oh, I wish I still had my roller skates! I had to share them with my little sister. Eventually, I outgrew them, my sister lost the key and I guess they rusted and got thrown out. I would've liked to let my grandchildren at least see those skates and how they worked. Most young people don't know what a skate key is, let alone that they clamped onto your hard sole shoes. 👵
MY MY MY, HOW GOD MUST LOVE IT WHEN HE LOOKS DOWN AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH WE VALUE 'LIFE" WHEN ALL SHADES GET TOGETHER TO "SAVE A PRECIOUS LIFE"!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL, SHEER BEAUTY, REELBLACK, THANKS.
The lessons in this movie is are timeless ones.
I loved the ending of this, they all came together for the cause and forgot about all the racial differences
I can happen for the greater good let it happen
Thank you for spoiling it 😏 by telling how’s ends.
@@Idaliasantana68 lol your dumb
IdaliasLopez68 why would you read the comments before you finished the movie ? That’s what the comments are for, to talk about the movie. 🤪🤣🤣
So you told the end? Now I have to click off tragedy.
I was 4 years old, when I saw this movie on a night time airing. My parents were sleeping so I stayed up to watch TV, the minute I saw the little girl disappear I was involved with the story. Never forgot The Well.
Wow makes me wonder what you became such a precocious child. At 4 My highest achievement was fractured fairytales on Rocky and Bowinckle .
Must see movie. This should have won an Oscar award or nomination. Moral story not to be impulsive. The mother riveting emotions in her performance and the actors were all great.
This vitally important movie is as fresh today as when it was released, nearly 70 years ago. It deserves to be in the Library of Congress' National Registry.
Thanks for this film. I never heard of this movie before or its Oscar nominations. I've seen Phoenix City (?) as a child and A Time to Kill with Samuel Jackson, which reflect some of the sources of the frustration we're living through currently. Big up Reel Black 🙏🏾👍🏾
Everyone in this movie was phenomenal so believable.
Whn tht white girl lied...Lord have mercy🙄
Child, they do that when....
And that my friend is how young ‘Karen’ was when she started lying.
goode gal Racism showing it’s ugly head. She did that for the attention of a man.
Typical girl trick to make a man jealous....no race difference needed
@Don Lee because her lie is legendary
Could you imagine watching this movie in 1951 when it premiered?! Brave souls were responsible for making this important classic. And the sad thing is racial tensions haven't changed that much in 60+ years.
I remember when a toddler fell down a well in Texas and the whole nation was watching as they rescued her.
I remember that - Jessica Mcallife
Yes. Baby Jessica I think was her name. Yes.
Pam lyles I remember that happening!
My mom and I cried and rejoiced when they brought Her up!
As I recall, Baby Jessica, a toddler, was about 20-feet down.
This RUclips channel rocks!!!
Thank you! I remember requesting the title from you and telling you about my mother introducing the movie to me as a little girl when it came on TV. You’re the reel deal!
Thought I'd seen all the old movies, love this one, loved the message.
Check out Bright Road 1953.The Quiet One 1949,Lost Boundaries 1949.

This story is still actual even today. It's so sad, 70 years have passed and little has changed.
OmGOD sad but….. true
Guess you see the negative , I saw ppl who came together for a child’s sake , skin tone has nothing to do with it … seems like we here now , our children can n will unite us all …. Love has a way
@@Jj-lo3zxour kids learn from us. It doesn't start with the kids. Our children is a product of who we are as parents.
Excellent movie. Everyone should watch it again on DVD with the commentary turned on.
Thank you for uploading one of the greatest Hollywood films dealing with race relations. This independent film was the sleeper kit of 1951 and launched the career of one of Hollywood’s most distinguished character actress, Maidie Norman. Although best remember as the ill fated no
nonsense maid in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (1962), it wasn’t until Ivan Dixon cast her in the 1974 version of Harry Hayes Dean’s riveting play Sty of The Blind Pig, that gave her the opportunity to Star along side Mary Alice in a TV movie. The story of a mother and daughter trying to survive at the beginning of the Civil Rights movement in Chicago is Norman’s greatest performance, a fitting sequel to The Well, and I hope you can locate and upload this amazing movie on your fantastic channel.
"They found the kid-what kid?" Good line.
The Morgan Brothers it’s Henry. Or Harry.
Exactly.
I noticed they got his name wrong.
Once the kid hit the barbershop …..it's on and crackin!
Just like a grapevine.....
A film about how rumours could have destroyed a community, but when they came today despite their race - it was all good. Had a smile on my face. Well done in bringing these movies to us I am hooked😀
Was "The Well' screened in Mississippi because four years later Emmett Till was murdered and his assailants were aquitted. In fact, the woman who caused the attack is alive in South Carolina where she confessed Till's innocence in a book, 'The Blood of Emmett Till' - Timothy Tyson.

@@thegreat1137 Well, 70 years, but yeah...
We all need to watch this on repeat right now
Naw, naw we don't, don't allow your mind to be filled with this lie
Hey anybody on here old enough to remember the TV series Dragnet? the guy they were accusing , of taking the child was Joe Friday's partner how ironic! 🙄
Yes, he also had a leading role on M.A.S.H. Harry Morgan.
Yes i remember dragnet and Joe Friday..
Yes,it was Harry Morgan!
@@marylett5489 I knew he looked and sound very familiar
Harry Morgan also played a crook and was murdered by Jack Webb(!) In the 1951 movie "Appointment With Danger" starring Alan Ladd.
Still powerful and relevant after 70 years, and one of the finest B Pictures ever made.
I was 8 years old when this movie was made. I had been walking to school by myself since I was 5. I had no problems at all, walking by myself and I lived in NYC. We didn’t have school buses. When we went to high school we travelled on public transportation, subways and trains. 😁
I do love the way this movie ended, with all of them getting together to save that little girl,,, Of course that is only in the movies, not real life, When the system does a person wrong they never apologize and no attorney will go up against the government especially for a poor black woman,
Thanks for telling the ending I was horrified when the child dropped into the well and stopped the video to read the comments to see if a commentor would allude to the child's fate. Otherwise I wouldn't continue viewing if the girl died
Key word here is “poor”
It is amazing how everybody makes up his own, often contradictory, story.
About the same time Akira Kurosawa made Rashomon in Japan. If you're not familiar with Rashomon you might try to see it.
What a wonderful story,one of the stars is from the highway patrol
Best comment in the list!
As much ugliness is portrayed in this movie I hope it's not banned ever - jys important for young people especially to see and know how things were (and yes ARE still).
I'm a bit discouraged seeing the comments citing how things haven't changed - they most certainly have but obviously not enough, by a LONG SHOT...
Thank you for uploading this movie, I used to watch on the all night movies , Channel 11 , KTTV , Los Angeles. I think the movie is partly based on Kathy Fiscus. She was the little girl who fell in a well in San Marino, Ca. It happened in April 1949 , and the nation waited anxiously for her to be rescued. Sadly , little Kathy died and the nation was saddened by her death. The story was covered by radio , newspapers and in Los Angeles , Channel 5 ,KTLA had television coverage of this tragedy. I remember my mother mentioned Kathy's death as we watched this movie.
The white and black came together! For a moment!
You provide GREAT CONTENT, keep up the good work!
This film is very revelant for today, it a mirror of exactly what is going today 6-4-2020
No it doesn't. This movie depicts an organically & spontaneous uprising. What's going on today are organized & funded by dark nefarious sources. The antagonists are paid & rarely have anything to do with a current situation.

Several years after this , Maidie Norman also played the housekeeper in the classic `Whatever Happened to BabyJane? `, unfortunately she was killed by Bettie Davis in that movie... Miss Norman was a fine actress.
I saw this in the movie theater as a child, I never forgot it and now I can see it again. Now as a grandmother of 13, it still moves me.

Yes lying Linda was Karen's grandma. 😒
Thankyou things have not changed
Lying Linda really got the Race riot started. She set it OFF!!!!!!
Yeah it’s like the Jessica McClure story. I was pregnant with my own daughter when Jessica fell in that well. I watched every second of that on television. I’m glad in this story that the town came together to save her too. Thank you for sharing this with us. God Bless and stay safe.

I needed this movie today. Thank you RUclips. Our Father who art in heaven...
This was a GREAT movie! Well written & acted... I'm glad I saw this. Thank you for posting it!😍
A little bit of trivia: Maidie Norman made her film debut in the 1947 all black cast film The Peanut Man, which starred Clarence Muse and Ernest Anderson. It was the first technicolor all black cast film ever made and today is considered a lost film. Earnest made his screen debut in the 1942 classic In This Our Life, in which Bette Davis wrongfully accused of murder. Ironically one of his last screen appearances was as the Ice Cream attendant who meets the crazed Bette Davis, near the end of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, after she has killed the Maidie Norman character. Earnest famously tells the cops “Hell of a way for a Colored woman to get her name in the paper!” I think he gave up on Hollywood after his appearance in the film. Maidie never gave up and was inducted in Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1977. Ernest should have been inducted but never was.
Mr.Anderson's role in this our life a young black man accused of a fatal hit and run,that Bette Davis did,I'll never forget him in the jail cell,he was so done and kept repeating the truth ain't gonna help me,it ain't no use in this world.I'm sure their are men saying the same thing now 2020.
Thanks for the info.
what a beautiful movie. Everyone was fighting each other and they forgot about the main cause of how it all started the little girl.
I have just given this movie an Oscar!!!!! Long over due!!!! I will name it the All Peoples Oscar!!!!! 11.15.2020!🌖
Ironically we as a nation need to watch this movie forgive each other and love.
That was a Great movie. This movie should b shown around the world the way it is Now.
