J'irai cracher sur vos tombes est un film français réalisé par Michel Gast et sorti en 1959. C'est une adaptation du roman homonyme de Boris Vian.

Synopsis

Aux États-Unis, un jeune noir est assassiné parce qu'il aimait une blanche. Son frère Joe, atterré par le racisme ambiant, s'expatrie vers un pays où il a obtenu l'appui d'un certain Horace Chandley, libraire d'une petite ville. La cité est sous l'emprise d'un gang dirigé par Stan Walker. Contrairement à la population, Joe est le seul à résister aux intimidations de Stan et de sa bande. Pour se venger des blancs, Joe, dont la pigmentation claire de la peau ne révèle pas ses origines, réussit à se faire aimer d'Elisabeth Shannon qui était promise à Stan. Poursuivant sa vengeance, il séduit ensuite Sylvia, la sœur d'Elisabeth. Ses plans sont contrariés lorsque Stan découvre qu'il est afro-américain. Informée, Sylvia le poursuit à son tour de sa vindicte pour laver son honneur de blanche bafouée, mais Joe et Elisabeth, profondément épris l'un de l'autre, réussissent à s'enfuir jusqu'au dénouement dramatique.

Tom Merriam (Russell Wade), a young merchant marine officer, joins the crew of the ship Altair. At first, all seems well and Merriam bonds with the captain, Will Stone (Richard Dix). The ship, already shorthanded due to the death of a crew member before it left port, loses another ("the Greek") when he develops appendicitis. (Taking direction over the ship's radio, the captain is to perform the appendectomy, but he is unable to make the incision. Instead, Merriam successfully removes the sailor's appendix, but – feeling he should be loyal to the captain and spare him embarrassment – swears the radio operator to secrecy. Afterward, the captain has a self-serving explanation for his failure.
