Comments: A businessman is found dead in an alley of Sparta, Mississippi. The police arrest the only man still awake--it's night. Virgil is a Northerner on his way home. The chief doesn't believe him, until Virgil proves that he's a homicide detective. He grudgingly agrees to investigate the murder.
This film makes a decent time capsule of the South in the 1960s. It's enjoyable and classic. Based on a novel.
