One of those moderately-budgeted programmers that appear at long intervals to rise far above the level intended.

Top CriticA first-rate job all round.

Top CriticFred Zinnemann's feature debut, a neat, unpretentious and really rather enjoyable whodunit about the hunt for the killer of the town's crusading mayor.
06/24/06
The taut plot is well served by the style of documentary fiction Zinnemann applied to a few of his earlier films.
05/24/03
It's the kind of film only television now makes, but this one's a beaut and hard to beat.
