Reviewer clanciai has done such an excellent job reviewing this movie I can add nothing, except that besides all of the other great features of this movie mentioned by C, it's got Harry Morgan (Colonel Potter of M*SH as a really evil character, and John Hoyt (Spartacus and Star Trek, etc.) as another, more complex character.
The film looks great, with tight editing and some nice jump cuts that seemed daring for 1950. Great character development in the cast, and in several places is subverted a cliché with an unexpected outcome. It's a true cliffhanger that kept me guessing until the last frame.
