What happened to the passenger door?
I found this very charming, warming and smooth. Sidney Poitier, ever a smooth, graceful, dexterous and theatrical performer is wonderful here, expressing his physical and emotional range in a simply told, moral film that seems even older then it really is.Words like heartfelt, sweet, winning, wholesome and uplifting come to mind.This has a classic status by it's very quick beginnings, short credits, small cast, hokey but honest incidents, mild subtext, minimal edits, straight forward direction, energetic, verbal and larger than life acting, terrific music from Jerry Goldsmith and peaceful and nice conclusion.
