  • "Summary: The title of this film, based on a short story by Flannery O'Connor, refers to Guizac, a Polish refugee who, after being displaced during World War II, comes to work on the Georgia farm owned by Mrs. McIntyre, the widow of a judge. In fact, he does not feature all that prominently and instead the story focuses on the effect his arrival has on those already there. At first Mrs. McIntyre is delighted by the newcomer's efficiency and industriousness, though his co-workers, both white and black, have their doubts. An obvious outsider, it is felt that he will not fit in and his commitment to his work causes resentment. Then, when his employer learns that he is intending to bring out his cousin by means of an arranged marriage to a black farm worker, she starts changing her mind and decides to fire him. However, before she can do so, an unprevented accident occurs.... Introduced by actress Colleen Dewhurst, the film features Irene Worth, Shirley Stoler, Lane Smith and John Houseman in the leading roles."
  • "Irene Worth and John Houseman are featured in this story of Guizac, a Polish refugee of World War II, brought as a new worker to a Georgia farm by a local priest. His efficiency becomes a source of suspicion and his intelligence a threat to the easy going, ignorant farm workers. By the end of the program, each person becomes a "displaced person". From the story by Flannery O'Connor."@en
