How, how is this any good? How does a lower grade picture have this much watchability? This is a different Bogie, his tough guy image yes but with a heavy dose of Dixon Steele. This alone makes for a good film but something in the simple plot development and tone makes it more. Maybe I just have a thing for plots with ex-GI's going back to Japan and encountering intense pain when digging up the ghosts of the past.

This is a film about the complete destruction of the American dream buried in Cold War paranoia and 50’s Americana that is typically seen as referring to the Red Scare. Did I mention it’s a low budget…  read review
