In Paul Newman's second screen outing he plays a Korean War POW charged with collaborating with the enemy.
Adapted from the celebrated teleplay by Rod Serling, this taut psychological courtroom drama equivocates between prosecution and defense, showing that when it comes to matters of war there are no easy answers.
Newman's lead is ably supported by some of the best players of the era: Edmond O'Brien, Walter Pidgeon, Cloris Leachman, Lee Marvin, Anne Francis, Wendell Corey—and keep your eyes peeled for The Dukes of Hazzard's James Best!
