...Working with Lewis John Carlino's spare script, Director Martin Ritt has fashioned a film like grappa, with a raw kick and a bitter aftertaste. Seldom has a movie so resembled its characters. Like them, it has a primitive volatility, churning from glee to fury in the space of a second. Like them, it has aspects of a legend that has outlived its time.

Then, bursting out of the hearing room, he flailed wildly at Lane on television. Behind the charges against him were the "enemies of the United States, those closely connected with the Communist Party . . . Their technique is to beat fallout shelters throughout...
Readying its report to the assembly, the Committee on Ethics and Guidance seemed unlikely to hand Carlino more than a wrist slapping. But Joe Carlino's prospects for bigger and better political things had certainly dimmed...
