This article provides information on the motion picture "The Rack," directed by Arnold Lavien. The movie provides no ground for controversy. It is sober, conscientious thoughtful, but in the end a work of ethical mugwumpery. "The Rack" is admirable for the humane and unsensational terms in which it is framed and for the intense and credible performances that director Lavien obtained from his cast-particularly from Paul Newman as the officer returned from a Korean prison camp and now standing before a court-martial and from Edmond O'Brien, who defends him and Wendell Corey who conduct the prosecution.
