Huge film for Ford in '35. His genius really shines regardless of a limited budget in this dark and atmospheric psychological thriller. His peers obviously agreed in righteously awarding him his first of four Oscars for Best Director. Also impressive was Victor McLaglen, who won as well for Best Actor, as the sometimes hilarious, but mostly pitiful, soused brute Gypo, whose conscience was almost more deadly than the I.R.A. The two additional awards were for Best Music, Score -- Max Steiner; and Best Writing, Screenplay -- Dudley Nichols. Phenomenal piece of work. FIVE STARS.
