Nothing But A Man All photographs are bright and clear, in very good condition. Nothing But A Man is a 1964 American independent drama film that tells the story of Duff Anderson, an African-American railroad worker in the early 1960's who tries to maintain his dignity in a small racist town near Birmingham, Alabama, after he marries the local preacher's daughter. In addition to dealing with oppression and discrimination, Anderson must also come to terms with his troubled relationship with his own father, a drunk who abandoned and rejected him. In the film, Ivan Dixon "gives a spectacular depiction of a strong, principled individual who will not bend over for any man, White or Black. It's an early portrait of black pride, presented long before showing pride in being black was accepted." Active in the civil rights movement from 1961, Dixon also served as a president of Negro Actors for Action. One lobby card presents Dixon and Lincoln being harassed by two White men, while another presents Dixon and Lincoln in a tight embrace while she cries on his shoulder. Five lobby cards portray Dixon and Lincoln in various states of bliss---two images out of these five are close up portraits of them. All cards are vibrant and expressive, in very good condition.
