Edge of the City is by no means perfect but manages a lovely character study without denigrating itself with pompous moralizing or forced sentimentality.

This is a rare film of high seriousness. Produced on a modest budget with a group of fine young actors, it represents a small step in the right direction.

...an erratically-paced yet mostly watchable drama...

Martin Ritt's impressive feature directing debut is a socially conscious drama, about union corruption, interracial integration, and moral integrity, well acted by John Cassavetes and Sidney Poitier.
