I do like Glenn Ford. He seemed to be that actor in the fifties that could present causes, go the extra mile. In the post World War II drama, a young Hispanic boy is accused of the murder of a young white woman. The case is dramatic enough, but it becomes embroiled in all kinds of neo-cold war stuff where the boy becomes a victim. It's very possible he is guilty. That doesn't really seem to matter. Ford plays a young lawyer, trying his first real case, depending too much on those who enlisted him. When we get to the last five minutes, I had to shrug and wonder how credible the plot was. I'm sure that Hollywood Code got in there somewhere.
