Brother John
Sidney Poitier stars as a mysterious traveler who arrives on the scene whenever someone is about to die. His recent appearance in a small Alabama town during a labor dispute spurs the action in this 1971 film directed by long-time television director James Goldstone. Will Geer co-stars as the local doctor with suspicions of the stranger’s real nature. Two years later Clint Eastwood starred in a western take on the tale in High Plains Drifter.
