A terrific debut film for both Van Heflin and for Fred Zinnemann in the director's chair.

The taut plot is well served by the style of documentary fiction Zinnemann applied to a few of his earlier films.

It's the kind of film only television now makes, but this one's a beaut and hard to beat.

Fred Zinnemann's feature debut, a neat, unpretentious and really rather enjoyable whodunit about the hunt for the killer of the town's crusading mayor.

One of those moderately-budgeted programmers that appear at long intervals to rise far above the level intended.
