This movie could have been made by the US Army but I am glad it wasn't. I found it to be entertaining, with good acting given a very familiar plot with lost of action. This is one of those movies the critics generally hate and the audiences like - there is nothing unique except the chemistry of the actors and fast moving action direction which makes for an entertaining movie for me. Ann Blyth wanted to be a singer but combined acting and singing in most of her movies somewhere. She and Robert Mitchum sing a duet of sorts which was very entertaining. I wonder how many people know Robert Mitchum had a #1 hit in the mid 50s " Thunder Road" - so he can sing some.
