It's 2013 and nothing has changed in communist Cuba. This story, set in the early 1960s, tells of an American woman (Wynter) arriving in that beleaguered country to get her husband out of jail, where he sits on trumped-up charges of being a spy. In fact, as she soon finds out, he has hidden a million dollars in the aftermath of the 1958 revolution, and the Castro regime wants that money badly. The wife enlists the aid of a brash journalist (Forrest) to help her free her husband and steal the money, only to find she has put all of their lives in danger. The Cuban officials are shown to be the corrupt weasels that we have long suspected, and unfortunately such people are still in power today under another Castro. Forrest plays his usual breezy he-man and Dana Wynter looks amazingly beautiful, given the old lady clothes, hairdo and makeup of the period. Victor Jory has a pivotal part as a boozy artist harboring a very big secret.
