Clark Gable is essentially playing an older version of Rhett Butler in BAND OF ANGELS, and tbh, it looks like they even repurposed some of his costumes. An odd picture for Sidney Poitier to be part of.

This week we dive into BAND OF ANGELS, a Civil War romance that is a decidedly unusual choice for Sidney Poitier given his general rules around the roles he plays.

In EDGE OF THE CITY, race is part of the conflict but it is not the major issue of the story, granting Sidney Poitier the chance to play a more complex character in a more dynamic story.

In real life, Richard Widmark so hated playing such a despicable character that he warmly welcomed Sidney Poitier to Hollywood and regularly invited him to dinner. #podcast #classichollywood #sidneypoitier

NO WAY OUT marked Sidney Poitier's first onscreen speaking role (he was an extra in SEPIA CINDERELLA) & his role as a doctor set a precedent for playing rolesthat countered screen stereotypes.
