Description:

Years of police work have taught Detective Finlay that where theres crime, theres motive. But he finds no usual motive when investigating a mans death by beating. The man was killed because he was a Jew. “”Hate,”” Finlay says, “”is like a gun.”” Robert Young portrays Finlay, Robert Mitchum is a laconic army sergeant assisting in the investigation of G.I. suspects, and Robert Ryan plays a vicious bigot in a landmark film noir nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet) directs, draping the genres stylistic backdrops and flourishes around a topic rarely before explored in films: anti-Semitism in the U.S. Here, Hollywood takes aim at injustice.and catches bigotry in a Crossfire.
