Up Tight March 25, 2008

Presented in connection with CWRU's Humanities Week.

1968, Jules Dassin

Introduced by Robert Spadoni, CWRU. Never released to video or DVD, this fascinating but forgotten artifact of the 1960s 'Black Power' era was shot on Cleveland's East Side shortly after the Hough riots. This movie is essentially a remake of John Ford's 1935 classic, “The Informer”.
