Writing in the New York Times (July 1, 1949), Bosley Crowther said:
One of the many bitter aspects of racism in our land — the in-between isolation of the Negro who tries to “pass” as white — is exposed with extraordinary courage, understanding and dramatic power in the new film entitled “Lost Boundaries,” which opened at the Astor yesterday. Viewed as emotional entertainment, as social enlightenment or both, it is one of the most effective pictures we are likely to have this year.
For Monday, we have a distinguished man of learning as a mystery guest.
Update: This is Emory Richardson.
For Tuesday, we have a mystery gent.

Brain Trust roll call: Howard Mandelbaum (Tuesday’s mystery gent).
For Thursday, we have a mystery police official and Wednesday’s mystery guest as Back of the Head Guy.
