Sidney P. & Tony C. playing
Da Defiant Ones!
a tres significant filmic comment
1950 Jim Crow south:
one man black, one man white
a desperate bedraggled pair
In a tawdry deep south chain gang
racing off one day
brutal lawmen closing in
aiming to blow out their brains…
Sidney P. & Tony C. playing
Da Defiant Ones!
Insane existential threats & terror
dis film did address much that’s still not done…
sadly social problems
keep so many on the run!
Hats off to its shiny points
Hollywood’s inventive drum,
dis shtory told a poignant way…
