Mézclese con inteligencia "Fury" de Fritz Lang , "Intruder in the dust" de Clarence Brown, "To Kill a Mockingbird" de Robert Mulligan y "Ace in the Hole" de Billy Wilder y tendrán esta extraordinaria película de ¡1937! dirigida por un Mervin Leroy pletórico, puro acero, pero de bayoneta, para clavársela en la cara al desprevenido espectador. Nadie se salva en esta ácida visión de la condición humana: la política vampírica, el periodismo buitre, la masa siempre fascista. Prejuicios, intereses egoístas, linchamiento: la turba matarife. Pareja exacta y perfecta junto a "Soy un fugitivo" cinco años anterior. Cine sin esperanza, atroz, precursor, maestro y tan actual que asusta.
