Sidney Kingsley’s hit Broadway play is brought to the screen with melodramatic verve by the great William Wyler. A day in the life of an N.Y.P.D. detective turns out to have shattering consequences for uber-dedicated Detective McLeod (a turbocharged Kirk Douglas) and his devoted wife Mary (Eleanor Parker in an Oscar®-nominated turn). Controversial for its time due to adult themes, Wyler reprised much of the original Broadway cast in the film including Lee Grant (Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actress), Joseph Wiseman, and Horace McMahon. Also starring William Bendix, Cathy O’Donnell, George Macready, Frank Faylen, and Gladys George.

Presented as a DCP.
