ever since a friend in grad school describe it represent robert walker be mean to his mother and so everyone suspect he a communist . it be worth the wait represent it be spectacularly awful . some other reviewer say the last 3rd be spoil because of walker death . not true represent this movie be a disaster from the first scene . mccarey try to present everyone but walker a a simple and patriotic american . he succeed in make patriotism look simple mind . walker seem to be still play bruno and ironic in a world of terminally sincere people . ( he literally bruno in the scene splice in from stranger on a train . ) and helen hayes . she seem to think she play mary tyrone in a road company of long day journey and and she pitch it to the back balcony represent only morphine addiction and withdrawal could justify the split second mood swing that occur within a single sentence . thanks to tcm for make my dream come true . and for show pro soviet film that be a wonderfully bad in their way a my son john . apparently the thought of the soviet union turn everyone in hollywood and friend and foe and into hysterical simpleton .
