Can you imagine a hollywood movie in which the communists are the bad guys? Not just flawed idealists whose hearts are in the right place, but callous bullies who crush any disagreement or dissent. Then imagine such a movie not being preachy, but being fantastically entertaining, with a protagonist that could have taught Bogey how to do a better job at portraying a tough guy. This movie is great, with interesting period details like automobiles that we've never seen in the West, and check out that elevator in the hospital scene! A tort lawyers dream!
