Mob hitman Cappy Gordon (Jack Palance) kills a man under order from gangster Vic Spilato who is being investigated. His next target is Spilato's estranged girlfriend Clare Shepperd (Linda Darnell) in a foreign country. American boxer Russ Lambert (Robert Mitchum) is trying live down a death in the ring and takes an interest in Clare.
The location shoot in Mexico brings some interesting flavoring. The sound stage work looks more artificial. The filmmaking is sometimes pedestrian. Other times, they are bringing it more. It's in Technicolor and in 3D. It's not necessarily a lot of things thrown at the camera. I do wonder what some scenes would function in 3D especially the last cabin car section. Hanging on a rope is a pretty cool stunt. In 2D, the film looks a bit fuzzy and darker. The story is pretty simple and a bit slow. This does have Mitchum and Palance is a good sweaty heavy. This has some curiosity factors.
