I felt that this was a film that hasn't aged too well over the years. It feels quite laborious in its approach, going over lengthy back story and then moving to a court trial which seems to go on forever. The ensemble cast is excellent and it's astonishing to see Dana Andrews and the others looking so youthful here, but I felt that it needed more momentum to get going. The ending is suitably moving but otherwise this is merely so-so.
