Synopsis
New York Herald Tribune reporter Jimmy Race (Dana Andrews, The Best Years of Our Lives, Laura) is sent to Budapest by his editor, Nick Strang (George Sanders, All About Eve, Rebecca), to help colleague Jeanne Moray (Marta Toren, Sirocco) investigate a rumored plot to overthrow Hungary's Communist dictatorship. After coming into possession of some microfilm that threatens to incriminate backers of the plot inside the government, Jimmy is arrested and jailed. Tortured, Jimmy is forced into confessing to being a spy, and Jeanne and Strang must put their faith in a man wanted by the Communist authorities in order to help gain his freedom. This tense political suspense was directed by Robert Parrish (Fire Down Below, Duffy) from a screenplay by noted film noir scripter William Bowers (Cry Danger, Pitfall), and co-stars Audrey Totter (Lady in the Lake, Women's Prison). Newly remastered.
