Bill Duke on The Spook Who Sat By The Door

"Spook" being both a racial slur and slang for CIA agent, Ivan Dixon's filmization of Sam Greenelee's 1969 novel is one of the most astonishing Hollywood films of the Nixon era. Not merely subversive but a genuinely revolutionary call to arms, it's not exactly polished but it is passionate. Original distributor UA pulled it from circulation for years.
