Review of The Well

The Well (1951)
8/10

An absorbing movie which roughly fetaures two parts :

-a young black girl falls into a well and the whole town suspects a white man , who claims his innocence ; the populace is not far from plunging the whole town into a huge race riot ,the victim being almost a pretext .

  • the second part is close to documentary ,people stand together , blacks and whites form some kind of chain to save a human being ;the falsely accused man , probably a civil engineer ,forgets his rancour and lends a helping hand .THis is
a story of a victory over racial prejudice and a great lesson in humanity.
