...forces him to the big city to try to support his wife and two children. Rogosin's camera-work starkly captures the cold hostility of Johannesburg; throughout the film there are shots of black and white workers moving, zombie-like, through the dreary streets of the city. These shots repeat throughout the film, setting a motif of alienation that reinforces the brutal racism depicted through Zach's travails...
...your cornucopia, young America. It is frightening to see that the "New Elite" [Aug. 21] have developed such a callous attitude toward savings and planning for the future.

When criticized for his unlikely scenarios, Hardy said that he was interested not in plot but in character. Playing Henchard, Alan Bates adds another finely molded performance to his credits. Strong and weak at the same time, his Henchard has the un stoppable vitality of the attacking bull he wrestles to a standstill...
