Atmospheric photography from Boris Kaufman and music from Elmer Bernstein.
With Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden, Lee J Cobb, Rod Steiger, Pat Henning, Leif Erickson, James Westerfield, Tony Galento, John F Hamilton, Rudy Bond, Martin Balsam (uncredited).
Written by Budd Schulberg. Cause of some controversy as Kazan ratted to the HUAC on fellow film makers, and may have then created this to salve his own conscience.
