Plot

Paralysed veterans in a hospital.

Sinekatalog’s take

Fred Zinnemann's drama follows paralysed veterans learning to live again, with Marlon Brando's screen debut. Earnest and moving, shot at a real hospital, it is a humane, early look at postwar trauma.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
