“This is one of the great ‘50s film paranoid allegories about the fear of Communism taking over the American Way of Life.  Less obvious is that it is also one of the best love stories of its time.  Totally unique, scary, prescient, and visually beautiful; a terrific early masterpiece by Don Siegel.”
