Years of police work have taught Detective Finlay that where there's crime, there's motive. But he finds no usual motive when investigating a man's 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 genre's 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.

Reviews
Lexikon des Int.Films: "Kurz nach dem 2.Weltkrieg wird in einer amerikanischen Garnison ein jüdischer Soldat zu Tode geprügelt; die Untersuchung fördert die antisemitischen Motive des Täters zutage. Bravourös gespielter, herausragend inszenierter Kriminalfilm."
