★★★★★ · Great Movie · berger meister · 2024-05-24
Anytime a movie brings me to tears, I give it a high rating. Garfield gives a bravura performance. Kudos to lovely Lilli Palmer, Ann Revere, William Conrad, and Canada Lee as well. It's been years since I last saw it, and I enjoyed watching it immensely again. Brutal, yet poignant screenplay from the blacklisted Polonsky.
