Movie Info
Connecticut prosecutor Henry Harvey (Dana Andrews), faced with a political maelstrom in the wake of the shooting death of a Catholic priest on a city street corner, feels tremendous pressure to prosecute a vagrant ex-soldier whom Police Chief Robinson (Lee J. Cobb) apprehended in connection with the crime. After the vagrant confesses, it looks to be an open and shut case, but Harvey remains unconvinced and chooses to risk his career in order to discover the truth.

Though the courtroom scene seems implausible the story is based off a true event about a prosecutor working to exonerate an accused killer at a pre-trial hearing. There's good acting here. Enjoy it.

Elia Kazan directs this dark and cynical bit of cinematic propaganda from the noir alley with only a light touch of societal loathing. A popular priest in a small town gets popped...now what? Every maggot from the right side of town shows up to lay claim on the body - each for their own purposes, all sure to underline that theirs is the proper motive. Identifying the good from the bad becomes the exercise of the day. I don't care for Dana Andrews usually but in this instance he does quite well as the District Attorney. A "sit down and eat your vegetables!" kind of film.
