Shatner gives a very scary performance (this was pre-"Star Trek"). Corman's direction is gritty and uncompromising.

...suffers from an amateurish vibe that extends to virtually every aspect of the proceedings.
January 21, 2008 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… -
Hollywood should continually revisit the film for an example of how to tell a socially significant story without preaching

Audience Reviews for The Intruder

Jul 20, 2018William Shatner's best came early, as a Northern rabble-rouser let loose in a small Southern town during the onset of integration. Well acted and directed, it may be the only film of its ilk that avoids the awkward preaching of so many similar films. A Roger Corman film??? You bet.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Oct 26, 2007makes ya cringe to think this shit went on only 50 years ago. nice to see someone making a movie about it though and raising awareness. captain kirk was pretty unlikeable in this... and he couldn't beam out at the end either when it all went a bit pear shaped for him. looking at the people in this movie though... how can people be so dumb?Sanity Assassin !

The Intruder Quotes
Sam Griffin: | [to Adam] Boy, you gonna get grass stains all over those trousers, you don't get up. C'mon. That's better. I figure your work in this town's about over. Ya hurry you can catch the bus to Farragut, they've got trains there. If you're a little light on trav'lin money I'd be proud to - ...you're sure now? Oh, I almost forgot. These belong to you [pours several bullets into Adam's hand]. I wouldn't want to steal from you, Boy. |
Sam Griffin: | You know something? We're in the same line, you and me. We're both selling something. Well I've been at it longer - I can see where you're making mistakes. And right now those mistakes are beginning to pile up on you, and in a little while they're gonna smother you. |
Adam Cramer: | Get out of here. |
Sam Griffin: | I've been studying your pitch - it's not bad you've got technique. But you know what's wrong? You're too clever, Adam. You've got no room in your head for intelligence. Cuz if you were intelligent you'd be able to see that you've started something that you can't control. You think you're the boss now? Wake up, boy, that mob's the boss! |
Adam Cramer: | What do you know, ya big boob? |
Sam Griffin: | Did you tell them to blow up the church? |
Adam Cramer: | You go to school around here? |
Ella McDaniel: | aHuh! |
