The year’s acknowledged No. 1 producer—Darryl F. Zanuck, 1949’s screenplay and direction, and Milton Ktasner, whose camera work was awarded the International Critics’ Grand Prix at the Film Festival at Cannes, France, backed with their skills the histrionic abilities of Richard Widmark, Linda Darnell, Stephen McNally and others in the picturization of Lesser Samuels’ and Mankiewicz’s original story, “No Way Out”. Unquestionably one of the most significantly major undertakings of any producer, Mr. Zanuck's personal 1950 special strikes a new high in daring and enterprise in film annals. An inspired story, "No Way Out” is pre-destined to be a memorable drama and to earn its place among the screen's truly great entertainment achievements, Mankiewicz who won an Academy award for his screenplay, "A Letter To Three Wives”, as well as for directing that comedy, is in line for a similar dual distinction for 195 0, say those who have had the good fortune to see “No Way Out”. Messrs. Mankiewicz and Samuels succeed poignantly in capturing the abject fear of both the hated and the hateful, the violent and the passive, the violent and the passive, the ignorant and intelligent characters of their story— a drama that has its beginning in a hospital where a wounded gangster suc- cumbs after an operation performed by a youig Negro interne, It speeds sus- pensefully and dramatically through a race riot incited by the dead man’s hood- lum-brother who believes mirder has been committed, and triumphantly survives a series of events that give it the symmetry and rhythmic impact of reality. “No Way Out” is, perhaps, the screen’s most daring and frankest pre- sentation of a problem and a condition that pose a monumental challenge to a democracy to which all modern civilization looks for leadership.
