I have always had a special feeling for the movie, "Lonely Are The Brave". I think that, a hundred years from now, classes in movie making will use it as a prime example of the masterful blending of all of the necessary components and elements of a good movie.
When Kirk Douglas named it as his most favorite of all the films he ever starred in, I nearly fell off my chair with joy and affirmation! Get a copy of this film and watch it on one of those special evenings that you can curl up with some hot chocolate and watch it with undivided attention. I get something new out of this movie every time I watch it. It has so many things going on at different levels at the same time. A truly masterful work embodying a timeless scenario that depicts how a small number of us stubbornly push to exact social change before it's time, and a small number of those who adamantly resist the inevitability of it! This leaves an ambivalent yet acquiescent majority somewhere in the middle.
