Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote "With some good camerawork, a London docks setting, and cautious but not unenterprising use of its West Indian characters, this film has a more convincing air than most thrillers of its type. Unfortunately, the effect is somewhat handicapped by an over-melodramatic and stereotyped climax and by some indifferent playing. Earl Cameron and David Hemmings play agreeably, though, as the West Indian and the cockney boy who befriends him. Background music is effectively provided by a West Indian steel band."[4] TV Guide wrote "Well-acted presentation of a man accused of murder because of the color of his skin...Intriguing effort given power mainly through the handling of the theme of prejudice."[5]

gollark: Which sound very fancy, although I have no idea how they work.
gollark: On a Discord server for another modern note-taking thing I'm on someone was talking about "n-grams" and "latent dirichlet allocation".
gollark: There are also, if NLP were not so bee, *many* useful approaches I could take to categorize things efficiently.
gollark: I'm likely to implement (eventually) fuzzy page name matching where it tells you stuff *like* what you spelt. Right now the search just looks for pages containing the same word (give or take endings, SQLite uses some "porter stemming" algorithm).
gollark: > "nice editor" sounds good. for instanceI mostly just mean that it will, for instance, keep your current indentation/list level if you add a newline. I can't think of much other useful stuff, markdown is simple enough.> it'd be cool to have a way to embed links to other notes a way that's as easy as adding a tenor gif to a discord messageYou can, it's just `[[link text:note name]]` or `[[note name]]` if they're both the same. "Nice editor" may include something which shows fuzzy matches > sematic taggingI thought about tagging but realized that "bidirectional links" were *basically* the same thing; if you put `[[bees]]` into a document, then the `Bees` page has a link back to it.
