Critic reviews

• " The cast Is tremendous, though only three or four carry the heavy end of the log. Broderick Crawford makes a very good job as Stark, whom he portrays as a likable U.S. reprobate, in whom there are still sparks of decency. " – Erle Cox (The Chiel)

• " Strong stuff, aided by great photography. " – Bob Thomas

• " It is one of the most vital and honest films to come out of Hollywood in a long time. " – Kate Cameron
