Outstanding movie detailing a community's concern about "one of them" moving into their neighborhood. Being that this film was made around 1957, "them" are negros. When the gossips see that a black family is about to move in, they run off into their houses to call The People Who Will Listen to Them about this sudden turn of events, to emphasize this, FURIOUS dialing, with the mike turned up HIGH, is heard. VERY funny. Anyways, soon, the seller of the house is being shunned by the community. He can't see what the fuss is about, and he soon finds out who his true friends are in the community.…

Unfortunately, neighborhood segregation has not gone away. A lot of the fears expressed in this film by the characters still holds true and has stopped social progress. This didactic script seems realistic at times and then gets idealistic. It is well acted and directed, however.
