   Is edge of the city a movie about racism?

   • "Edge of the City" is a movie about racism. How it handles the topic so well is by hardly mentioning it and instead finding creative ways to provoke the less enlightened audience of 1957. First is by introducing Sidney Poitier off-screen, so the audience hears his voice before seeing him for the first time.

   A hard-hitting urban drama filmed on the docks of the New York City waterfront, Edge of the City (1957) is a key film of the fifties for several reasons. First and foremost, it dealt with issues of race, which were rarely addressed in Hollywood films of this period (Stanley Kramer's Home of the Brave (1949) was an early exception).
