...only a first-class social document, but also a profoundly moving film. Dr. Carter (Mel Ferrer) and his wife (Beatrice Pearson) are forced into passing as whites so that he can practice his profession. But he keeps clandestine contact with his Negro colleagues, names his son (Richard Hylton) after a famous Negro doctor. Out of these contacts emerge some fresh insight into Negro viewpoints, and into the intricate network of etiquette and anguish separating those who can "pass" from those who cannot...

Richard Hylton, in his first screen appearance, plays the difficult role of Carter's son with ease and assurance. Outstanding bit-player is the Rev.

Band Leader Hylton made a speech in each town the Philharmonic visited. Although his ?10,000 might have said, with authority, that he could conduct, he did not do so. Dr. Malcolm Sargent, who did, put a symphony on each program, played also light classics but "no rubbish." Up to last week only one air raid disturbed a concert. The Philharmonic played right through it. The orchestra's nucleus of 65 oldish players was periodically eked out by men on leave from air-raid and home-defense forces, as well as nine enlisted members. But the Philharmonic was worried...
