Fred Zinnemann's sensitive and compelling dramatisation tells of the awakening in the 1930s of playwright Lillian Hellman to the growing threat of Nazism through the persecution and final execution of her childhood friend Julia. Although the narrative is slight, director Fred Zinnemann endows the film with suspense, sensitivity, elegance and, above all, a beautifully realised and complex relationship between the two women.
