From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.

A bold film adaptation of the controversial allegorical drama by Amiri Baraka, writing here, as he often did in the 1960s, as Leroi Jones. An erratic white woman meets an African American man on a subway car. When he begins to respond to her erotic advances, she begins to taunt him viciously, goading him until he explodes into violence. Anthony Anthony Harvey's important and still impactful first directorial effort, followed by many successful films, including "The Lion in Winter" (1968), "They Might Be Giants" (1971), and "The Glass Menagerie" (1973).

Set in New York, with subway exteriors shot in Manhattan, and interiors shot in London.
