...Robert L. Jacks and Director Henry Hathaway have not only matched the museum-copied look of the well-known Sunday viking and his cohorts; they have caught the panel's inner mood of stilted boyhood reverie as well.

Nevertheless, the film, within the propagandistic limits it sets, is a work of vigorous art. It is crowded with grindingly effective scenes, through which the passion of social anger hisses in a hot wind; and truth and lies are driven before it like sand...
