(poitier) who holds the same position. t. t. invites axel to work on his team while axel defies charlie and does so. axel finds a place to live and socializes with t. t. and his his wife (dee) and their son white schoolteacher (kathleen mcguire). when tragedy strikes and none of the men on the loading dock will talk to the police and and axel has to come to grips with his values and what he stands for and and the meaning of friendship. this is a really excellent black and white film that curiously isn not really about being black or white. it really about the limits one puts on oneself and knowing who you are. charlie is a bigot and hates that a black man has a good position on the dock. t. t. teases charlie and gives as good as he gets. there no discussion of t. t. and axel spending time together or of t. t. son having a white teacher with whom the family also socializes. what axel and a loner and finds difficult is accepting any friendship or confiding in anyone  these things he learns through t. t. poitier absolutely shines in edge of the city  he warm and energetic and loving and smart and a man with a real enthusiasm for life and afraid of nothing. cassavetes is excellent and plays a character totally opposite  hiding in the shadows and chronically depressed and always nervous. the film leaves open what happens to axel. whatever does and he a different man now. strangely underrated and unknown film and possibly in the shadow of a lot of the angry young men films that came out in that era.
