"The love story of a man whose wife was more woman than angel!"
- Director: William Wyler
- Genre: Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Classics,
- Studio: Paramount Pictures
- Subtitled | Black & White | Duration: 110 Mins
|
Overview:
Sidney Kingsley's smash-hit play about the ugliness of life as seen from the squad room of a drab police station loses none of its claustrophobic intensity on screen under William Wyler's resourceful direction in this crime drama. Kirk Douglas is memorable as the cop who despises weakness and wrongdoing, only to find that his intolerance comes back to haunt him. Lee Grant and Joseph Wiseman were imported from the Broadway production for their showy parts of simple-minded shoplifter and dope-addicted three-time loser. But many others are equally good, including William Bendix (fellow cop), Eleanor Parker (Douglas's wife) and George Macready (despicable abortionist). Only the wet young lovers (Cathy O'Donnell and Craig Hill) are a pain, but at least the Hollywood censors permitted abortion to be retained as an issue.
