With the backdrop of the French fighting the Communists in Viet Nam in the 1950s, this is basically a story of Michael Redgrave, in top form, as a British correspondent, married but with a wife refusing divorce on religious grounds, vying for the love of a Vietnamese girl with Audie Murphy, an American in Vietnam trying to do good but you wonder as the film goes on whether or not the Murphy character is an agent for the United States.
Her affections just go back and forth and the picture via flashbacks takes us to the months leading up to Murphy's mysterious murder.
The film is rather tedious with an inspector interrogating Redgrave repeatedly to ascertain whether or not he killed Murphy out of jealousy.
