"6.2.11. TV Fred Zinnemannin sotainvalidielokuvassa käydään realistisesti lävitse invalidien sopeutumista yhteiskuntaan ja heidän usein hataria suhteitaan perheisiinsä, jotka eivät oikein osaa suhtautua rampoihin ja katkeroituneisiin rakkaisiinsa. Suurin osa castingista on täytetty oikeilla invalideilla, pääosassa heiluu toki esikoisrooliaan hoiteleva Marlon Brando. Brando on tehtäväänsä yllättävänkin valmis ja tämän tutut maneerit ovat jo nyt kohdillaan. Täysin katsojasta "

"Watched: 6.2 --------------- Erittäin mielenkiintoinen ja tunnelmallinen elokuva. Paitsi että viiden tähden antaminen tuntuu mahdottomalta, kun kestoa on liian vähän ja tarina etenee turhan nopeasti. Toki Brando tekee jo debyytissään hienoa työtä. "

He plays a paraplegic war veteran who, straight from his opening monologue, has completely given up on leading a normal life. It takes his wife, Teresa Wright, and doctor, Everett Sloane (who gives a teriffic performance) to literally try to get him back on his feet.

“Very good. Very good indeed. Not the strongest of debuts for Marlon Brando but certainly a strong debut from him. He plays a paraplegic war veteran who, straight from his opening monologue, has completely given up on leading a normal life. It takes his wife, Teresa Wright, and doctor, Everett Sloane (who gives a teriffic performance) to literally try to get him back on his feet. There are some excellent, very well scripted scenes, notably the one where Sloane checks on the patients of the ward at the beginning of the film, backed by a superb supporting cast including Jack Webb, Richard Erdman and Arthur Jurado (which is criminally his only screen credit). But it's Brando's film through and through and he's brilliant, giving a naturalistic and, in the end, very touching performance. Worth a” read more
