I understand that the crime mainly serves as a set-up for Mr. Tibbs' adventure in Sparta but that doesn't change the fact that it could have been better. It ended with characters who only showed up in the last part of the plot.Rod Steiger chews the scenery in a very unusual way.I'm glad I've watched it but I don't think it's one of The Greatest.</blockquote>
