The 1957 film version (by Sidney Lumet) is absolutely superlative. This TV version is horrible. Robert Cummings and Franchot Tone deserve most of the credit for how bad this really is. Two of the actors from the film version also appear here. They are Joseph Sweeney and George Voskovic. Even these fine actors couldn't help this terrible TV version. Please watch the film instead.
