You know this film is a remake of the 1935 film "The Informer." The director Jules Dassin stated this a long time ago in Life magazine. Or was it Look magazine.Oh well. thought I'd let you know.

at 13, the first black movie about my race, it broke my heart to see what they did to Johnny! I had to buy the album to hear the song "Johnny I love you"; and the pain was still there.
