This was Marlon Brando's film debut and, as such, set standards not only for his fellow actors but for himself.

Producer Stanley Kramer turns to the difficult cinematic subject of paraplegics, so expertly treated as to be sensitive, moving and yet, withal, entertaining and earthy-humored.

Brando's first movie is a syrupy soap opera-like Stanley Kramer produced social conscience message movie.

Zinnemann's film, one of Hollywood's first and most honest attempts to portray the physical, psychological, and sexual problems of paraplegics, benefits from sensitive direction, semi-documentary style, and great acting from the entire ensemble.

Even in his first movie, Brando's ability to transcend mediocre material is very much in evidence.

A dated oddity that’s nevertheless a must-see for anyone curious about Brando’s artistic trajectory.

It caused quite a stir, although it's hard to see why now.

Stern in its intimations of the terrible consequences of war, this film is a haunting and affecting, as well as a rewarding, drama to have at this time.
