The wonderful and successful part of the film lies in the creation of such a character as American writer Holly Martins. At first he heard that his friend Harry was hit by a car and there were two people and three people next to him. He insisted on finding out the truth of the incident despite the Colonel's request from the US military commander not to intervene in the matter. When he met Harry, Not at all moved by Harry's enticements, he told the Colonel the information in exchange for the freedom and safety of Harry's girlfriend; after being stimulated by the words of Harry's girlfriend Anna, he wanted to leave immediately, but under the arrangement of the Colonel, he saw those in the hospital. After the situation of the children poisoned by Harry's diluted penicillin, he resolutely stayed and cooperated with the colonel to arrest Harry; he saw that Harry, who had nowhere to go, shot and killed the colonel's deputy. The gun killed Harry (no picture, only the sound of gunshots, which is the art of the film.) In the end, regardless of the possibility of delaying his trip, he wanted to talk to Anna to help her as much as possible, until Anna ignored it. he. This Martins is a good friend and a loyal person, but he is also a very decent and real person. And that Anna can be said to be the contrast of Martins. The film was shot in the United Kingdom, but it was listed in the American Film Institute's 100 classic films of the last century in 1996, which is a bit misnomer. In 1997, the movie was removed from the list, and it was a matter of course.
