During World War II, Joe Keller (Edward G. Robinson) was accused of knowingly shipping damaged airplane parts that led to the deaths of 21 servicemen. While only his business partner, Herbert Deever (Frank Conroy), was convicted of the crime, Keller was guilty as well. When both his own family and the Deever family find out the truth, it damages even further the psyches of both families' children, who were left scarred by their own experiences during the war.

John Chapman New York Daily News Jan 18, 2018
Robinson gives a realistic performance of the man who is willing to sacrifice the lives of the boys for his own profit. It is one that will be long remembered by theatre goers. All the parts are well played, under Irving Reis' superb direction. Go to Full Review

A semi-effective transfer to the screen of Arthur Miller's famous play, though Burt Lancaster is miscast. Go to Full Review

Eli H @EliHendricks 3 days ago What starts as a by the numbers slice of life picture becomes the revelation of man's sins. While slightly melodramatic in it's tone at times the movie thrives with stellar performances from Edward G. Robinson as the manufacturing tycoon patriarch of the Keller family and Burt Lancaster as the son who is forced to confront what he always knew his father had been. Mady Christians is incredible as the matriarch of the family, a woman who knows but refuses to see. The writing is superb, giving you just enough at every turn to keep you invested before revealing more about the web of lies that has been woven. In the end this is a movie about hypocrisy that doesn't pull it's punches. See more Martin B @RT44235356 Jul 20, 2024 Edward G. makes a good story great. Too fantastic, too incredible to be a true story but representative of a the comprises that were made in war production and inevitable human cost on the battlefield and at home. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Apr 1, 2024 Strong cast and a worthy if predictable story. See more Ernie K @ErnieK Feb 4, 2024 A very effective adaptation of Arthur Miller's play; in some ways superior in pace and flow to the stage production while still evoking the playwright's intended range of human emotions. A good cast helps, with a particularly memorable performance by Edward G. Robinson as the mis-guided, all-too-human antagonist. A drama that's well worth your time. See more william d @acsdoug May 3, 2021 Not as good as its pretensions, but stll worth checking out. See more Nov 18, 2020 Las obras de teatro que escribió Arthur Miller son grandiosas y esta adaptación al cine es buena, pero nunca como la puesta en tablas del NTL con Sally Field y Bill Pullman. En la versión de 1948 el padre, interpretado por Edward G. Robinson, nunca termina de convencer, su propia estatura ya lo limita para este papel. En cambio, Burt Lancaster logra una gran interpretación. Cine bueno, cine clásico. See more Read all reviews
