The Lost Man (Blu-ray)

A gang of black militants plots to rob a factory to finance their “revolutionary struggle.”

The iconic Sidney Poitier (Lilies of the Field, In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner) stars in this gripping 1969 drama of street-style crime and justice. The secretive leader of a Black militant group, Jason Higgs (Poitier) plots a dangerous payroll robbery; the money is marked for a mysterious organization that benefits the children of jailed Black men. When the heist goes horribly wrong, Higgs and his men go on the run, with the entire Philadelphia police force following their every move. The captivating Joanna Shimkus (Boom!), Poitier’s future real-life wife, plays a social worker who helps, and falls in love with, Higgs. Marked by late-Sixties racial tensions, this loose adaptation of F. L. Green’s novel Odd Man Out was scripted and directed by Robert Alan Aurthur (co-writer of For Love of Ivy and All That Jazz); featuring Paul Winfield (Sounder) and music by the great Quincy Jones (In the Heat of the Night).
