This has always been one of my favorite movies. Glenn Ford was a big star in his day, but he does not get the credit today that he deserves for making some terrific movies. FITH was well acted by everyone in the cast I think the chemistry between Glenn Ford and Rod Taylor was very interesting. I believe the scene at the beginning of the film, the only contact they had not seen in flashback, was very subtle, but you begin to understand what drives Ford to pursue his investigation. The late Jerry Goldsmith was one of Hollywood's great composers and his score here was brilliant. Several years ago, on a whim, I actually wrote to a famous director (who happened to have made a film with Glenn Ford when he was a child actor!) to suggest remaking FITH with an updated story. I never heard back, but I still believe this could be a terrific film set in the current time (perhaps using the first Gulf War instead of WWII?) with the right actors.
