Sinopsis(1)
Un hombre ha sido hallado en su apartamento, con evidentes signos de haber sido brutalmente apalizado. Una amiga del fallecido le confiesa a Finlay, el policía que lleva la investigación, que poco antes de su fallecimiento había visto a la víctima en compañía de tres soldados, bebiendo en un bar. La documentación de uno de esos soldados, Mitchell, apareció junto al cadáver. Otro de los soldados implicados, el más charlatán, es Montgomery, que en comisaría comienza a declarar ante Finlay. El caso se presenta sumamente denso y turbio. (Filmin)

Crossfire shows all the signs of when it was made. America in 1947 was shocked by the footage captured by film cameras depicting prisoners in concentration camps and newspaper articles about gas chambers in Auschwitz. It was also filled with a guilty conscience because the Jews during World War II did not receive the necessary help. Evaluated by today's standards, the anti-racist message of the film is very simplistic and straightforward, but at the time, it had its justification. It was an educational film and even earned a few Oscars. At the same time, the Ku Klux Klan was "civilizing" African Americans in America, and no one thought about making critical films about it... As a detective story, Crossfire is too simple, and not very functional for lovers of the genre. It is simply a typical film in the noir style, characteristic of the time, but with a good cast. Overall impression: 55%.
