- GoofsIn the opening scene, when the carpenter cracks the molding when nailing it into place, he places the nail and hammers into the upper right side of the molding, but when the crack appears, it runs from upper left side to lower right side diagonally across the molding, the opposite of what it would/should have been.

Featured review
Sidney Poitier is still a great actor and this film is a demonstration of his skills. Here he is a carpenter touched by his tough life, which taught him to work as much as possible without hurting anyone. But one day some people wanted to take him away of his land and the tragedy started for him. However he took it as part of life and fought against it with patience and showing himself calm. The morale of the film is simply excellent.
