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 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. Jan 18, 2018 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A semi-effective transfer to the screen of Arthur Miller's famous play, though Burt Lancaster is miscast. Rated: B- Jan 20, 2013 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews There are enough social conscience talking points to fill the airwaves of talk radio for a season of broadcasts.

Martin B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Steve D Strong cast and a worthy if predictable story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Ernie K 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review william k Solid adaptation of the Arthur Miller play is a well-directed melodrama with a touch of Noir and a good ensemble, above all Edward G. Robinson perfectly conveys the complex, ambiguous character of the guilty industrialist. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william d Not as good as its pretensions, but stll worth checking out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
