Eighteen times Oscar nominee Charles Lang's only win is moodily lit and boasts some good tracking shots, and an interesting subjective camera when Gary Cooper is in hospital being visited by Helen Hayes. Has some of that great montage work of war scenes, possibly Vorkapich? (though not credited as such).
Adolphe Menjou and especially Mary Philips are the meddling 'friends'. Still effective story, briskly told (especially compared to the two and a half hour 1957 remake).
