With Tracy heading the cast and a host of great character actors in support, it's hardly surprising that the performances are the most memorable aspect of Zinnemann's first major feature.

Top CriticOne of the best of the swarms of anti-Nazi films Hollywood produced during the war years.

Top CriticTracy, usually solid and reliable, is miscast as a German who escapes from concentration camp, but then the whole 1944 Zinnemann saga is fake in the manner of MGM films of the era; supporting cast, particularly Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, are good.

If you will accept this premise, despite the evidence of recent deeds, then you should be both moved and shaken by the better part of this film.
