Shelley Winters is wonderful here as a woman down on her luck and with a negative attitude and alcoholism mixed in, she presents some personality.
Befriended by recent immigrant Chu Chu Ramirez, Ricardo Montalban, who has lofty ideas about his life and values in his new country.
When Wendell Corey refuses to pay him his back wages, Corey, as Amsel Ames, and his depressed, scheming wife, Claire Trevor, blame Ramirez when a gun goes off injuring Corey.
The film is one of conscience mending and ultimate harassment of Ames and his wife by Chu Chu's Mexican friends. This eventually causes them to come to grips with what they have done to an innocent man.
The final hospital scene where Ramirez tells Nancy, Winters, that she has to get better, after her collapse following a lengthy talk by her to the Ames' is way over the top.
