| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaO personagem vivido por Andrews merecia ter sua história contada com mais detalhes, mas o filme se concentra no aborrecido e caricatural jovem interpretado por Granger. |
| User ReviewJiawei HThe most downbeat, unrelentingly grim movie ever made. That it dared to criticize organized religion in1950 makes it a remarkable film. It contains the best scene from any film of this genre in which Martin's down and out neighbor explains to him that although it's a rich world no one is giving you anything, that you must be prepared to take it from them. The speech gives the viewer the thoughts of a man gripped by despair...riveting and thought provoking. |
