Boy, oh boy, this needs to be rediscovered so bad. This goes beyond the average suburb soap drama. It's a rather depressing study on 1950s post war America. The fact that the script plays with so many sensible things and delivers a great and balanced exploration of every single one makes it single handedly deserving of recognition. Joanne Woodward was phenomenal and seeing Terry Randall in other thing than a wacky comedy was a nice surprise.
The scene where the japanese worker demands to have the same opportunities as his americans co-workers was the most powerful and remains important to date.
