The Fearmakers (1958)

United Artists
Directed by Jacques Tourneur
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, MGM Limited Edition Collection)

Dana Andrews is a Korean war vet with combat shock. He returns to his old job only to find it taken over by "subversives". He agrees to work with a Senator undercover to expose them. Far from grade A Tourneur, the film suffers from heavy handedness and an incredibly bad ending at the Lincoln Memorial, complete with patriotic music.
