One should be careful when picking out this film for viewing, because there is a nearly identical 1997 remake with Tony Danza in it, and its not quite as good.
What makes both versions so good (more so the original black and white version, for its cinematography) is the way that the heat, the rain and everything that happens in that one confined space is framed so well and delivered, visually, so eloquently and poetically while the drama bubbles on in the background as we learn what happens and watch the "events" silently on the screen in our minds. Masterfully done.
