Title: A B rated Maltese Falcon set in Mexico
Review: The late Glenn Ford was known for his stand up roles (Cowboy, Pocketful of Miracles) in most of his films. Here he plays against hero type...a down on his luck guy asked to carry a package (ala Bogie in Falcon) from Havana to Mexico on a ship. He meets characters similar to Bogie's Falcon (A fat man, a lorre wantabee in dark glass and two Fem Fetales). It ends in mexican ruins and Ford shines better then this script. John Farrow (mia's dad) direct this fairly, mostly in angles and over staging the scenes. John Wayne's BATJAC company product this film and it shows Wayne love for Mexico with his picturique footage-I only wish for COLOR instead of Black & WhiteBennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD
