a bigoted soldier kill a man for be jewish and try to pin it on a fellow soldier . not as good a the novel it be base on ( the brick foxhole ) in which it be a gay man who be kill . but hollywood wouldn not touch that in 1947. that say and it still a very good film . the anti semitism be handle very well and but it hammer into the audience that bigotry be bad . well duh . but this be 1947. the picture be well act by the entire cast ( especially robert young and robert ryan ) and the tone be very dark . a it should be . very atmospheric too . a deserved big hit in it day . well worth see .
