| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzPart sleazy sexual exploitation and part stilted realpolitik historical tableau. |
| User ReviewTrent RLarry Cohen's political expose is muckracking pulp at its melodramatic best. The performances are uneven and the low budget is all too evident, but it has a raw, over-the-top energy that keeps it entertaining - and Broderick Crawford manages to wring some humanity out of his role as the beleaguered FBI director. The script is often ridiculous, but has some surprising moments of wit. Great bombastic, old-fashioned score by Miklos Rozsa. |
