It stars Van Heflin as a WW II veteran living the good life in late 40's Los Angeles County building the post-war suburbs. <br /><br />Heflin's character has a dark secret. As a POW in a German camp, he betrayed an escape attempt by his fellow prisoners resulting in all but one being killed by the guards. Robert Ryan plays the lone survivor, Heflin's former friend now sworn to kill him. <br /><br />Janet Leigh plays Heflin's young wife and Phyllis Thaxter Ryan's girl. Both ladies stand by their man. <br /><br />Van Heflin (as previously mentioned was called another Spencer Tracy) gives his usual outstanding performance as the guilt-ridden veteran seeking atonement. Ryan looks his usual sinister self as the limping would-be avenger.
