Keeper of the Flame is an interesting piece from Cukor, blending drama and mystery in a way that really captures the post-war atmosphere. The pacing feels measured, allowing you to soak in the small-town nuances while O'Malley digs into the life of this national hero. The performances are solid, particularly from Spencer Tracy, who brings a weight to the role that feels authentic. There's this tension between public perception and private realities that the film explores nicely. It also has a certain visual style, with the practical effects used to create that small-town charm. It doesn't shy away from the darker undercurrents of hero worship either, making it a thought-provoking watch.
