The first of Louis de Rochemont's documentary-styled dramas (he was the producer of the newsreel series
The March of Time). Dana Andrews, the honest DA of a corrupt New England town, defends an innocent man accused of killing a priest. This 1947 film is limited in scope and feeling, but the superficial dramatics work well enough. The direction is the work of a young Elia Kazan, a few years before he found himself. With Jane Wyatt, Lee J. Cobb, and Arthur Kennedy. 88 min.
