1933. Vengeance et révolution à la Havane. Tout ça finira dramatiquement, mais le noir et gris sied sacrément à Jennifer Jones.

Because the story was so bleak and the somber ending was not a crowd pleaser, this mostly intelligent and well-crafted film was not a commercial success. It was Huston’s first flop. There were also many other faults to this well-intentioned but ill-conceived film, such as its simplistic and naive take on revolutionary matters, the implausibility of its detailed main revolutionary operation and how it felt too dry for such a passionate themed film. — Dennis Schwartz
