The Movie: The Intruder (1962)
What Is It?: Roger
Corman, the so-called “King of the B-Movies,” makes a “message film” infinitely
more fearless than any other such picture of its era. William Shatner is
chilling as a despicable shit stirrer who travels south to incite a violent
backlash against school integration.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1956, the Supreme Court
outlaws segregated buses in Alabama.
