Goodbye to Sidney Poitier, a trailblazing actor and civil rights activist. This is from his directorial debut, a 1972 Western titled Buck and the Preacher, which costarred Harry Belafonte and Ruby Dee. In this scene, he’s speaking with indigenous people to ensure safe passage for Black people through their land.
Sidney Poitier and John Cassavetes in Edge of the City, an excellent 1957 drama where they play friends who are dockworkers and fighting their racist foreman (Jack Warden) trying to drive them apart. Ruby Dee costarred as Poitier’s wife.
A fun clip from Sneakers (1992): “"Did I ever tell you why I had to leave the CIA?"
