One of the first Hollywood films to explore bigotry follows the story of three World War II soldiers who become suspects in the murder of a Jewish hotel guest. Starring Robert Mitchum ("Cape Fear"), Robert Ryan ("Bad Day at Black Rock") and Emmy-winner Robert Young (TV's "Marcus Welby M.D."). A critical success, it harvested an Oscar bonanza, receiving five nominations, and winning for Best Director, Supporting Actor (Ryan), Supporting Actress (Gloria Grahame - "It's a Wonderful Life") and Screenplay.
