Based on a true story, this powerful dramatization depicts how citizens of Skokie, Illinois - a small town with a higher than average percentage of Nazi death camp survivors - became divided over an impending street demonstration by neo-Nazis. Among the issues raised is free speech vs. social responsibility, reacting to racism, and becoming involved vs. remaining a bystander when confronted with a moral dilemma. Stars Danny Kaye, Carl Reiner, Eli Wallach, and Brian Dennehy. (JHS/MS+). Color. (121 min.)
