Ohh...I had a feeling someone was going to make a reference to this movie/story before I did! :-0
I’m glad you did; I was thinking of this movie a lot when I read the article! I loved it; also, the story this movie was based on, was written by a man who was a solid, passionate, anti-Communist (Stephen St. Vincent Benet (sp?))! I read about him in “Wikipedia”, awhile back. The actor who played Daniel Webster did a beautiful speech in front of the “Jury of the Damned”, didn’t he?
