I thought this was a film noir classic, but it's really is about hatred against fellow men for no reason. In the story, anti-semitism is depicted and Irish-Catholic predjudice is mentioned. Over arching principle is: there are people who will hate others because they are different. For some reason, they need a target to focus their hatred on. All the leads were great. Young was probably the best in his methodical, subdued, analytical manner. Ryan was great as the crazy Jew-hating GI, even though he just fought a war against Hitler. Mitchum is just Mitchum, cool and calculating.
