Reviews
“A PICTURE THAT INSPIRES ADMIRATION, COURAGE AND THOUGHT. Zinnemann has crystallized the essence of this drama in such pictorial terms as to render even its abstractions vibrant. Welles plays with subtle, startling glints of poisonous evil that are extraordinary.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
“An excellent, handsome and stirring film version.”
