I own this movie and have watched it many, many times.
In my opinion, it is one of the best, and perhaps least touted, of Peck's works.
I cannot help but think that the scenario portrayed in this film has played out many times in real life.
Peck delivers a 5 star performance of a man of strong moral fiber, driven by the desire to abandon all he has that is right, in pursuit of what he wants, and deep down inside, probably knows he can't have.
Highly recommended and truly a treasure in my library. If you can find it...you won't be sorry.
Not sure why this one barely gets the recognition it truly deserves.
Drama, suspense, and surprise at it's best !!!
