One of a series of jaunty, unpretentious films Robert Mitchum made while at RKO - a rare bright spot for RKO during the Howard Hughes regime. A simple story about a bunch of people chasing after a pile of stolen cash in Mexico. Fresh handing from director Don Siegel, a cast that includes Mitch, William Bendix and Patric Knowles, some location filming in Mexico, short running time, good dialogue.
The film throws you right into the story - by the time you've figured it out, you realise it isn't that complex, but by then the film is almost over!
