Description
"Years of police work have taught Detective Finlay that where there's crime, there's motive. But he finds no usual motive when investigating the beating death of a man. The man was killed because he was a Jew. 'Hate', Finlay says, 'is like a gun.' ... Finlay is a laconic army sergeant assisting in the investigation of G.I. suspects and Montgomery [is] a vicious bigot, a topic rarely before explored in films: anti-Semitism in the U.S."--Container.
