 Wish” \n\nU.S.\, 4/8/1960\n\nIn a rare showcase for an all-Black cast in 
 early 1960s network television\, Ivan Dixon delivers a deeply poignant 
 performance as an aging boxer with only scars to show for years of painful 
 defeats. With his best days seemingly behind him\, he’s confronted by the 
 immeasurable power of hopes and dreams via a small child (Steven Perry) 
 that channels giant-sized beliefs into an alternate reality.—Mark

 Man\n\nU.S\, 1964\n\nWhen a railroad worker named Duff marries Josie\, an 
 educated preacher’s daughter\, the racial tensions of their small Alabama 
 town tear at the threads of their new life together. The film was 
 reportedly made on a microbudget of $230\,000\, and distribution was 
 limited. With an all-Black cast\, including non-actors from the community\, 
 the film broke new ground for the period by showcasing the dignity and 
 resistance of Blacks in the South in the face of systemic oppression. In a 
 tour-de-force performance\, Ivan Dixon portrays Duff with a roiling 
 vulnerability opposite the quiet intensity of Abbey Lincoln’s Josie\; the 
 naked emotion between them bursts forth from the screen. Relatedly\, 
 director Michael Roemer deploys broken glass as a visual motif in the 
 foreground and background throughout the mise-èn-scene: unexplained holes 
 in the car windows\, drinking glasses dropped to the floor\, pointing to 
 how too often women like Josie and Lee\, Duff’s stepmother\, are meant to 
 gather the shards left by the demons rattling their men. A major 
 achievement in the American neoclassical tradition\, it won the San Giorgio 
 Prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1964. The film was named to the 
 Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 1993.—Beandrea
