CAST REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 22-Jun-2006) This was an excellent movie about
a soldier accused of betraying his fellow soldiers. It featured
powerful performances from Van Heflin and Robert Ryan, two of
Hollywood's most capable and reliable performers. This film could
almost be classiied in the film noir category because of its stark
approach and bleak photographic background. In spite of Heflin's
unfortunate behavior and Ryan's unsympathetic revenge-ridden action,
the film engendered sympathy for both men. Both the acting and
production values reached high levels.
