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 (truncated) 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." Three 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. One lobby card captures Ivan Dixon and Abbey Lincoln seated at a restaurant, while another captures Dixon amongst his jail cellmates playing checkers. Active in the civil rights movement from 1961, Dixon also served as a president of Negro Actors for Action. All lobby cards are vibrant and expressive, in very good condition. (Inventory #: 19621)
