Plot
A man betrays his friend to the authorities in 1922 Dublin.
Sinekatalog’s take
John Ford's Dublin drama follows a dim brute who betrays his friend for reward money. Victor McLaglen won an Oscar, and the film's expressionist shadows and guilt-soaked tension make it a haunting classic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
