Wonderful film about the battle of integrity versus the vindictive power of mediocrity.
By roncoach (369 reviews) from suffolk , 03 Nov 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
This is one of my favourite films. Not only does it star the great Coop ( and his chemistry with Patricia Neal) but it is also a unique story about someone with values standing up to the mass of mediocrity surrounding him.
This film can be viewed over and over again. It has some similarities to The Razors Edge but, except for the latter, I can think of no other film which comes close to matching the 'message' outlined in this movie.
It is a message that is as relevant today as it has always been, but this movie was years ahead of its time in bringing it to the cinema.
Raymond Massey is always a trusty supporting actor and he does a fine job here in a major supporting role : in fact the cast is basically Coop, Neal and Massey.
A 'really must-see' movie that is both enjoyable as well as thought-provoking.
