    Any Anthony Mann noir is gonna be excellent. And John Alton the cinematographer. THIS FILM CANT MISS!! A top flight director of westerns too.

      Alton was brilliant. His work on Raw Deal and T-Men, painting with Light, to coin a phrase.

      And then the corrupt members of the convention have found out that their names are on the list. they have beheaded Robespierre, to build a parliamentery system called democracy. Since then they are leading France.

    A very enjoyable trip to the world of freshy sliced loaves; Fouché is particularly good as a wily opportunist with his own special kind of sense of humour.

    An excellent film with the director and cinematographer working wonders with a low budget. One wonders if the parallels between Robspierre and Stalin were intentional.

    It was true to life when Robespierre is silenced at the end. When he was to speak at the convention his enemies feared his words so much they busted his jaw.

    This is a very good film about a bloody and exciting era of history. As far as i can tell, they read the history books before they wrote the screenplay. Fouche was a real character--a spider and a watcher behind the scenes. He survived into Napoleon's reign, and even Napoleon was afraid of him See: IN THE DAYS OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

    Je me rends compte qu'a l'époque de Robespierre, on devrait peser chaque mot qu'on prononce et, plus important encore, à qui l'on dit, sinon c'est la guillotine. Quelle angoisse pour ces contemporains! Vivement qu'on est loin de tout ça, après tant d'années déjà. Il faut que cela n'arrive plus jamais, peu importe quelle époque dans le futur.

      Unfortunately, it's in the air, on the wind and though not the same, fanatical just the same! Humanity never learns and steers away from God. Never to the all omnipotent and merciful Father.

    The subtitles are laughably inaccurate! Otherwise, very good for its kind, a sort of Film Noir meets Red Scare with more than usually subtle acting, writing and direction.
