...photographs of rubbled cities, taken with a depth of focus that clarifies the fear in every handful of dust. Unfortunately, the view of this film is frequently obstructed by the one in front of it, which has a certain frightful clarity of its own. It concerns an American (Robert Ryan), a Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian who unite to rescue a famous advocate of Peace (Paul Lukas) from the Nazi underground, but then ride off in opposite directions, leaving him alone.
