Gus Job. That Agent Cvetic es-
capped with both his life and a
huge swatch Of damning informa-
ton about his fanatical associates
gives the screenplay an effective
pitch Of interest that lasts It's full
30 minutes.
Naturally the documentary style
Is used in narrating the story on
the screen and it works out with
its usual effectiveness. If an ex-
aggeration slips into the plot
occasionally, it does not alter the
fact that all right-minded movie
goers are going to remain firmly
on Cvetic's side.
This was brave and brutally
punished man and his nine years
as a fake Communist has pro-
vided Frank Lovejoy with an ex-
citing role.

Of the demonic leaders respected
him sufficiently to put him in key
posts. From these he gathered
intelligence that was highly use
full in revealing large sections of
the Connie membership list, in
helping to convict the IL Red
leaders in New York. and in the
work Of the Un-American Activi-
ties Committee of the House.
The personal aspects of Cvetic's
story provide the Warner produc-
ton with dramatically useful SUBJ

In more ways than physically or
mentally.
In Cvetic's case, the need to keep
the nature of his work secret cost
him his boyhood affection of his
motherless son, turned his family's
love into a blistering hatred, and
permitted his mother to die think
ing of him as a traitor to America.
These disclosures give the film
its strongest flavor of freshness
since the remainder of the ma
terial relates to ground that has
been pretty well covered.

Lovejoy and the others look
plausibly like the characters they
are supposed to represent. These
are principally members of the
demonic Communist cell in Pitts

foment labor unrest, race out

recommendation of Gerhardt Els
Ter, his party activities increase.
He becomes acquainted with a
pretty school teacher, assigned by
the party to spy on his loyalty, and
learns of the party's program in
the public schools.
The pattern of inside activity
has been made familiar in previous
counter-spy films but a new note
is added here by the revelation of
Cvetic's growing discomfort in his
job. The fact that his work has
the highest and most useful pa
triotic purposes cannot keep him
from thoroughly disliking it.
This distaste, naturally, makes
him especially vulnerable to CIV

This, in turn. provides the picture
with one of its strongest elements
of suspense.

Generally speaking. the film
bears down most strongly on the
personal aspects of Cvetic's ex-
