      Tom Milne Time Out The sterling cast can make no headway against cartoon characters, a fatuous script that defies belief, and an enveloping sense of hysteria. Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Despite its heavy sounding title, pic hews strictly to tried and true meller formula. Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Dudley Early Austin American-Statesman This is pure propaganda, heavy-handed and dull. Rated: 0/4 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Robert Ellis California Eagle Only the gullible are going to fall for this one. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews If you can somehow get by the polemics and the cheesy script and view this melodrama as typical Hollywood, the film is quite entertaining. Rated: C May 1, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Obviously made during the height of the Cold War this drama is a tad highstrung but good acting puts it over. Any movie with Robert Ryan is worth checking out for him alone. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Unremarkable propaganda-minded B-movie. The cheesy communists as deadly organized crime group motif is mildly amusing, but not enough rise it above being anything but a predictable, mediocre potboiler. Some nice black and white photography by Nicholas Musuraca, though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The Cold War is not over as long as the largest population on earth is Communist. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member good but loaded with propaganda. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Simple story - yet well enacted to demonstrate political coercion & manipulation. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
