Revised First Draft script for the 1967 film. Laid in is a Call Sheet from the production, dated Tuesday, November 29, 1966. Based on John Ball's 1965 novel. An African American police detective from Philadelphia is recruited to help solve a murder in a small, bigoted Mississippi town. Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Rod Steiger, nominated for two others. After the success of the film version, the characters were developed further for a police procedural television series in 1988, developed by James Lee Barrett, and starring Carroll O'Connor and Howard Rollins, which aired on NBC, then CBS, from 1988 to 1995. Set in the fictional town of Sparta, Mississippi, and shot largely on location in Illinois. Poitier insisted the movie be filmed in the North because of a 1964 incident in Mississippi, in which he and Harry Belafonte had been run off the road and almost killed by Klansmen while in the state to support the SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee).

Vintage borderless photograph from the 1967 film, showing Warren Oates on the set. Based on John Ball's 1965 novel. An African-American police detective from Philadelphia is recruited to help solve a murder in a small, bigoted Mississippi town. The film dealt skillfully with the topic of race relations in the South during the Civil Rights movement, and included a controversial scene in which a white actor, Larry Gates, slaps Poitier in the face, at which point Poitier slaps him right back. It was said you could determine the racial makeup of a theater by their verbal reaction to the scene: cheers for a predominantly Black audience, or whispers for a predominantly white one. Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture, and nominated for two others. Though set in the fictional town of Sparta, Mississippi, Poitier refused to travel below the Mason-Dixon Line, so the film was shot largely in Illinois. 8 x 10 inches. Fine. National Film Registry.
