Catalogued from container. "Bette Davis hits the screen in a cyclone of dramatic fury!" -- Container.

"Directed and co-scripted by Daniel Taradash ('From Here To Eternity'), this reflection on the rights and responsibilities of citizens was a timely response to Anti-Communist sentiment in the 1950's. A small town librarian (Bette Davis) stands up to local pressure to remove a controversial book from the shelves - on principle, not out of sympathy for its perspective. Also co-stars Brian Keith ('Tight Spot', and TV's 'A Family Affair') and Kim Hunter ('A Streetcar Named Desire'). -- Back cover
