Ex-G.I. Robert Ryan is bent on revenge against his former best friend and Army buddy Van Helfin, who sold out their comrades to the Nazis. Phyllis Thaxter and a young Janet Leigh play the women caught between them. Journeyman director Fred Zinneman’s inky-black noir wows with its inexorable story and grim fatalism. Fantastic ending. -Lee Gardner
