A great deal has been written in favor of this film that I would agree. The only problem I had was with one line of dialogue that a few viewers mentioned as well. The script reads "sometimes for the sake of the law we have to give up our friends." I can, to some extent, understand why this line was kept in the film. In reading what HUAC and the tribulations of director Mr. Dmytryk went through; perhaps he felt strongly about that belief. However, this is a line of dialogue that many in hollywood at the time, especially Kirk Douglas, and viewers today would not agree to that philosophy. Many lives in Europe during WW2 died to hide their friends from the law of the land. Laws change; sometimes all we have are our moral principles. Still I do overall recommend this film.
