Directed by rat bastard Elia Kazan. Richard Widmark, Jack Palance, Zero Mostel. Plague in New Orleans. Notable for authentic New Orleans accents in some scenes featuring locals. Contrast that with every Hollywood southern accent you've ever heard. I found this DVD at Big Lots! Beautifully shot by Joseph MacDonald. There are some great scenes with Palance and Mostel. I am listening to one of the pandemic podcasts (#4) at Trailers From Hell, and this is one of the movies listed, along with with one of my favorites, Pickup on South Street. There are some creative people whose personal issues you can get past and some you cannot. Kazan for me is one I cannot.
