"Free, White and 21" is a 1963 movie by self-proclaimed "schlockmeister" director Larry Buchanan.[2] It was based on the true story of the controversial trial of a black man accused of raping a white woman in Dallas, Texas in the 1960s. The title is a version of the archaic American idiomatic phrase "free, white, and twenty-one", which means "beholden to no one".
Plot
The central conflict in this film is whether African-American businessman Ernie Jones (played by Frederick O'Neal) raped Swedish immigrant and civil rights Freedom Rider Greta Mae Hansen (played by Annalena Lund). Jones was the proprietor of the hotel at which Hansen decided to stay during her time in Dallas. The movie is primarily a courtroom drama, with many of the key events portrayed in flashback sequences as Jones and Hansen testify.

Реабилитироваться удалось картиной «Манчжурский кандидат» (1962), за которую Анджелу вновь номинировали на «Оскар» и вручили второй «Золотой глобус». После этой картины Лэнсбери сделала окончательный выбор в пользу театра, чтобы через двадцать с лишним лет триумфально вернуться в телевизор с сериалом «Она написала убийство».
Но это уже другая история.
