Few actors have such a glowing record of fine films to his credit as Alec Guinness. Here, he is again excellent, but even he was unable to overcome such a weak script. The story involves the Communist tactic of arresting and breaking down a man mentally. The script is pretentious, inconclusive, wordy, and unpersuasive. The production itself is low budget but competent. Hawkins overacts at times, but that's nothing new. One comes away from the film with perplexity and disappointment. Yes, ... Read More

This movie, now 52 years old, is a still classic in every sense. It tells the story of a situation painfully similar to the real ordeal involving Cardinal Mindzenty.

PLUS all of the background represented the prevailing atmosphere in parts of post- ... Read More

Sir Alec gives a riveting performance as an imprisioned cardinal psychologically tortured into questioning himself and his beliefs circa WWII. Jack Hawkins is the perfect foil to witness and instigate Guinness' character's slow deterioration of mind and spirit. In the process, Hawkins' character begins to question his own humanity. Deeply moving and beautifully done. A great study into the mind of man and the dance between good and evil.

Wonderful acting. Foreshadowing trajic real life death of Jack Hawkins. The Cardinal down trodden, held in captivity, brainwashed, and abused rises through psychological catharsis to prevail over his "analyst"/"captor".
