Starring Sidney Poitier
with Lilia Skala, Stanley Adams
Itinerant workman Homer Smith little realises the job he is accepting when he stops to do a day's work for a group of nuns living on the edge of the Arizona desert. Sidney Poitier's fine performance as Homer won him the 1963 Oscar as Best Actor. Producer/director Ralph Nelson, whose latest film is the controversial Soldier Blue, also has an acting role as the local contractor who employs Homer.
