for producer Hal B. Wallis again, because Wallis had wanted re-shoots in order to get more closeups of Lizabeth Scott. Milestone refused, telling Wallis to shoot them himself, and, according to the director, Wallis did. The film's ad campaign consisted only of teasers before its release: Newspapers ran ads reading, "Whisper her name!", while radio spots had a woman repeatedly whispering, "Martha Ivers". Critical reception The film has received acclaim from modern critics. It holds a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 10 reviews. Dave Kehr from Chicago Reader wrote in a glowing review that the film "is pervaded by [Rossen’s] guilty-liberal fascination with power and money." And continued by saying "Director Lewis Milestone does little more than accent the hysteria of Rossen's script, though his portrait of the company town, bound in factory grime and feudal loyalty, is nicely done." Awards and nominations John Patrick received an Academy Award nomination for Best Writing, Original Motion Picture Story.
