Edge of the City (1957) by Martin Ritt, Clip: Tommy - "You gotta have faith; just a little faith..."

The Image: One of my favourite clips ever. Period.

The rhythm and resonance of Poitier's voice is extraordinary. Beautiful even

The actual words too: "You gotta have faith; just a little faith..." and  "He can't hurt ya/he can't hurt ya".
   
JC is great too.

Say this 10 times over.
