Tom Milne Time Out 09/02/2020
The sterling cast can make no headway against cartoon characters, a fatuous script that defies belief, and an enveloping sense of hysteria. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 09/02/2020
Despite its heavy sounding title, pic hews strictly to tried and true meller formula. Go to Full Review Dudley Early Austin American-Statesman 09/02/2020

If you can somehow get by the polemics and the cheesy script and view this melodrama as typical Hollywood, the film is quite entertaining. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/14/2014 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. See more 10/14/2011 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. See more 10/11/2011 The Cold War is not over as long as the largest population on earth is Communist. See more 10/09/2011 good but loaded with propaganda. See more 11/28/2009 Simple story - yet well enacted to demonstrate political coercion & manipulation. See more Read all reviews
