During World War II, Joe Keller (Edward G. Robinson) was accused of knowingly shipping damaged airplane parts that led to the deaths of 21 servicemen. While only his business partner, Herbert Deever (Frank Conroy), was convicted of the crime, Keller was guilty as well. When both his own family and the Deever family find out the truth, it damages even further the psyches of both families' children, who were left scarred by their own experiences during the war.

John Chapman New York Daily News 01/18/2018
Robinson gives a realistic performance of the man who is willing to sacrifice the lives of the boys for his own profit. It is one that will be long remembered by theatre goers. All the parts are well played, under Irving Reis' superb direction. Go to Full Review

A semi-effective transfer to the screen of Arthur Miller's famous play, though Burt Lancaster is miscast. Go to Full Review

Martin B 07/20/2024 Edward G. makes a good story great. Too fantastic, too incredible to be a true story but representative of a the comprises that were made in war production and inevitable human cost on the battlefield and at home. See more Steve D 04/01/2024 Strong cast and a worthy if predictable story. See more Ernie K 02/04/2024 A very effective adaptation of Arthur Miller's play; in some ways superior in pace and flow to the stage production while still evoking the playwright's intended range of human emotions. A good cast helps, with a particularly memorable performance by Edward G. Robinson as the mis-guided, all-too-human antagonist. A drama that's well worth your time. See more william d @acsdoug 05/03/2021 Not as good as its pretensions, but stll worth checking out. See more 11/18/2020 Las obras de teatro que escribió Arthur Miller son grandiosas y esta adaptación al cine es buena, pero nunca como la puesta en tablas del NTL con Sally Field y Bill Pullman. En la versión de 1948 el padre, interpretado por Edward G. Robinson, nunca termina de convencer, su propia estatura ya lo limita para este papel. En cambio, Burt Lancaster logra una gran interpretación. Cine bueno, cine clásico. See more 05/09/2019 A claustrophobic and well-acted adaptation of Arthur Miller's superlative domestic tragedy - suffering only in the latter stages from a tendency to make explicit what has been implied and inferred. Wonderful cinematography from Russell Metty. See more Read all reviews
