CAST REVIEWS Review by John Everitt. (posted on 22-Jun-2007) I first saw this film in 1948. As a boy of fourten years of age. It
coloured my drab London view on life like no other film has and filled
me full of dreams. The classic reply declining a challenge to show his
badge of authority delivered by Alfonso Bedoya remains as vivid in my
memory today as when I first viewed the film. Surely this film would be
a sitting duck for a remake. One of the greatest films I have ever
seen. I never miss a chance to watch a replay on television.
Do you know something we don't?
