it be sad to say that a film should be lose and but this be one . this work and direct horrendously by leo mccarey and be a sorry thing when it be first release during the mccarthy witch hunt period . my son john be even bad now . yes and we may disagree with the statement in a film and but we can also begrudgingly respect it professionalism . none of that be present here in this paranoid monstrosity that bring the overrate helen hayes back to the screen a the mom of a ( gasp ) suspect commie . she be truly terrible the nadir of a career that and in retrospect and be not a great one at all . and poor robert walker die before it release . no comment need . the most embarrassing moment occur when hayes force her son to spill his dreaded secret . arrrrggghhh . not many film can make you angry by their incompetence . this mccarey disaster and with a big budget and be one of them . it make i be a communist for the f. b. i. and even the red menace look competent . and they weren not .
