William Wyler directed this classic adaptation of Sidney Kingsley's Broadway play. The film follows a day in the lives of detectives at a Manhattan police precinct. Among the cops is hard-boiled James McLeod -- a lawman who sees everything in terms of black and white. His inability to empathize with others could wreck the life of a young man arrested for a minor offense as well as his own marriage... (official distributor synopsis)
