Sinekatalog’s take

Fred Zinnemann's drama of Lillian Hellman's friendship with an anti-Nazi activist is sober and stately. Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave shine, with Jason Robards winning an Oscar, though the film's accuracy was disputed.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
