A recent upload on YouTube is a beautiful print of this noirish take on the French Revolution with its expressionistic sets by William Cameron Menzies, moody camera work by John Alton, and bravura direction by Anthony Mann. First time I saw it under the original title. Previously it was just a washed out version reissued as Reign of Terror. The supporting cast is outstanding with Richard Basehart as Robespierre and Arnold Moss leading the way. The only flaw is bland Robert Cummings as our hero. Moves at a gallop with often witty dialogue.
