Title: EDWARD DMYTRYK, OPUS 34
Review: ***1/2 1954. This film, a remake of Joseph L. Mankiewicz'sHouse of Strangers (Fox Film Noir)was directed by Edward Dmytryk. Academy award earned by Philip Yordan (screenplay) and a nomination by Katy Jurado (Supporting role). Description of the relation between an authoritarian father and his four sons. BROKEN LANCE is a true Fox classic with a little violence and a lot of psychological considerations. Spencer Tracy, Richard Widmark and Katy Jurado clearly outshine the rest of the cast, especially Robert Wagner who's as expressive as a stone. Recommended.
