Not to Bring Race into this....


This is just for discussion's sake but I must wonder how the town would react if Dr. Ben Stone was black. I know the town had black people and there was certainly a degree of integration but given that town is rural and in the south 20 years back, one could see a good degree of interesting human dynamics and drama.

Actually that would make a good movie plot: a young hip, urban black doctor comes to a small, rural town and makes changes in their attitudes towards racial minorities and finds himself.

Obviously had the doctor been black he would have been lynched for breaking the judge's fence. It would have been a short film, though.


What we have here is failure to communicate!
