A gloomy vision of the possibility of decent relations between whites and blacks anywhere, including the South. Undertaker L.B. Jones, the richest black man in his county of Tennessee, is divorcing his wife for infidelity with a white policeman. Taking a stand against racism, he is greeted with a hostile bunch of Southern bigots and other various stereotypes.
An elderly blind man who has an elderly dog that roams a car junkyard is shot in the head by a gun toting cop. This is a very rough movie set in Tennessee, white people versus Black people. And all the ugly racist words are in this movie. It’s a good storyline, but it’s offensive. And again, yes the dog does die. We don’t see it, but we certainly hear it .
