STORM CENTER (1956)
Starring Bette Davis, Brian Keith, Kim Hunter; Directed by Daniel Taradash; 85 minutes
A small town librarian stands up to local pressure to remove a controversial book from the shelves - on principal, not out of sympathy for its perspective. This reflection on the rights and responsibilities of citizens was a timely response to Anti-Communist sentiment in the 1950s.
