In my opinion, this final scene is a testament to how memorable this film was, is, and always will be. Mr. Poitier's performance had 'Oscar Winner' written all over it.

But all of Sidney's movies -- including this one -- had the same story line and premise: A black man comes into a white environment and is initially resented because's he "colored." But in time, and because of his character, he wins the whites over and they come to admire him. The moral of the story -- blacks can be just as good as whites and prejudice is wrong. Most of Sidney's movies were created in the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement, and were produced by white liberals who were trying to soothe their conscience about racism in America. Nevertheless, he was a great actor though.
