You'll come away feeling that although it's worthy in its ideals, it could have done with a touch less overblown melodrama.

Hurry Sundown is a gigantic masquerade in which the participants put on two things: a Southern accent and the audience.

The Preminger flair which made The Cardinal so enjoyable, despite its hackneyed script, seems to have deserted him in this lumbering melodrama.

An outstanding, tasteful but hard-hitting, and handsomely-produced film.
