“A sharp scalpel has been used in No Down Payment…tough, unrelenting and professionally wrought.”
– The New York Times
“Martin Ritt, champion of the social conscience, directed this exposé of the queasy side of then-modern suburbia…clearly anticipates the work of John Cheever.”
– Joe Baltake, thepassionatemoviegoer.com
An all-star cast – including Joanne Woodward, Sheree North, Tony Randall, Jeffrey Hunter, Cameron Mitchell, Barbara Rush, and Pat Hingle – highlights No Down Payment (1957), a Martin Ritt-directed “problem film” about the denizens of a California subdivision, struggling to make ends meet even as they deal with racism, alcoholism, and promiscuity. Appropriately, given the film’s uneasy themes, the screenplay was written by blacklisted Ben Maddow, fronted by Philip Yordan.
