Edge of the City Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Martin Ritt's impressive feature directing debut is a socially conscious drama, about union corruption, interracial integration, and moral integrity, well acted by John Cassavetes and Sidney Poitier.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...an erratically-paced yet mostly watchable drama...
Film Culture
Jonathan Baumbach
This is a rare film of high seriousness. Produced on a modest budget with a group of fine young actors, it represents a small step in the right direction.

Edge of the City is by no means perfect but manages a lovely character study without denigrating itself with pompous moralizing or forced sentimentality.
