Next Episode: Reel 63b: Same Title, Different Movie
For the next two episodes, we'll be looking at films whose only commonality is their title.
In this episode we're screening two films titled No Way Out. In the first half, it's the 1950 version starring Sidney Poitier in his feature film debut, along with Richard Widmark, Linda Darnell and Stephen McNally. Poitier is a doctor who runs into race issues and a medical complication during his first night in a new assignment. The issue snowballs until there's a full race riot going on. Poitier's character comes up with an interesting tactic to prove he did the right thing that first night, but it nearly backfires on him.
