Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe last Millard Mitchell film released in the U.S. before his death from lung cancer at age 50 on October 13, 1953. His final film, Here Come the Girls (1953), was released in London on August 14, 1953; however, it wasn't released in the U.S. until nine days after his death.
- GoofsWhen Howard and Jesse meet Lieutenant Roy Anderson for the first time, Howard asks for his discharge papers, which states he has a dishonorable discharge. Officers do not receive dishonorable discharges; an officer found guilty in a court martial receives a dismissal. Otherwise, they may retire or resign their commissions.

Featured review
Marvellous
True, some of the themes and conflicts presented in this movie are very well-worn, and while Janet Leigh looks absolutely gorgeous I couldn't help thinking that this gorgeous presence jarred just a bit seeing as the film in its tone is very tough and melodramatic with themes of greed and bitterness and the rest of the characters intentionally pitiful. That said, Mann directs very assuredly, James Stewart is wonderfully ferocious and Robert Ryan is very charismatic in a more convoluted role. The film looks great, with wonderful sets, scenery, costumes and photography, the music adds to the mood of each scene without feeling too intrusive, the dialogue is excellent and the story even with the well-worn themes and such is very compelling. Overall, a marvellous film. 8/10 Bethany Cox
