It's a good, engaging movie - great-looking, too, with top-notch photography and production design - but it tends to fall apart when you start kicking the tires and peek under the hood.

Based upon a potboiling bestseller novel, Frankenheimer brings an artistic sense to the film, but he can only take it so far.

John Frankenheimer directed, too much in love with technique, though he ably taps the neuroticism of Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Fredric March.

As dismal as is the complication that they and this picture present, the acknowledgment of its possibility and the discovery of how it might be resolved, with wisdom and fundamental courage, make this a brave and forceful film.

Frankenheimer's Washington, D.C., less baroque than in The Manchurian Candidate but just as hazardous
