...confused plot focuses on Alan Garraway's hatred for his brother Michael, played by Robert Mitchum, supposed to be the unknown quantity till the end of the play.

Robert Mitchum takes to drink, hoping to forget the painful silver plate in his head. Guy Madison, home from the Pacific with a whole skin, is too restless to stomach the unexciting routine of a civilian...
