Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to December 1950 articles in The Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times, producer Hal B. Wallis purchased the rights to the novel before it was published for $100,000 ($1.3M in 2024). Wallis intended the leads to be Burt Lancaster and Patricia Neal and that the project was to be filmed at Paramount. It never got off the ground, and Wallis ended up selling the rights to Columbia in early 1953.
- GoofsThe beginning scenes of movie show coal mine operations in Coalville, PA. The railroad caboose was from ATSF (Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe). That railroad never had operations in Pennsylvania.

Dr. Tom Owen: [on the phone with his wife] Oh, I'm interviewing nurses, of course... Don't be silly, darling - of course she'll be fat and ugly. I do insist on good legs, though.
Featured review
Good drama
Irving Rapper was a good drama director, watch out his filmography for Warner studios, starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. I am not that surprised that Columbia pictures hired him for such a topic that suits him like a glove. He uses splendidly Charlton Heston and Liz Scott, two Paramount exiled, rather so far hired for crime film noirs. And I don't know why, but I would have imagined Ed Begley in a corrupt or fierce politician. Yes, this is a powerful drama, convincing, but unfortunately not that widely known; such a shame. We also can consider this film as a social drama, evoking hard conditions of miners. I expected a war vet drama, but it's something else and why not?
