Its Drama blisters the screen!"; "Sensational?... No, it's dynamite!"; "Hate is like a loaded gun!"; "Murder without motive!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the novel 'The Brick Foxhole' by Richard Brooks; very daring for its day; about a serviceman who while on leave kills a Jewish man due to bigotry; in the original source novel, the man who is killed was homosexual, but that was TOO much for Hollywood in 1947, and given that World War II was fresh on people's minds, changing the victim to a Jewish person made a lot of sense!) starring Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Gloria Grahame (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Paul Kelly, Sam Levene, George Cooper, Steve Brodie, and Marlo Dwyer NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There are smudges and stains scattered on the covers, with several tape stains on the front cover where there was once a snipe attached. The covers are separating at the spine.
