This movie needs to be required viewing, along

This movie needs to be required viewing, along with reading Alan Paton's novel by the same name, for everyone who wants to understand South Africa in the 1940s when the apartheid system was practiced but not yet as rigid or violently enforced as it would be by the 1960s. It is also an instructive human interest drama of racial reconciliation and forgiveness without dipping into sentimentality. Most importantly, as a film it is a period piece filmed on location close to the time the drama was set, so it bears an authenticity the later (1995) film can't recreate as effectively. I am very unhappy this 1951 Korda version has been removed from YouTube and isn't easily available, apart from used VHS copies on Ebay or Amazon. Bring out a new DVD please!

I loved this movie but its very very sad. It takes place in South Africa and so there's a lot of unique settings to me.
