The film"s page
A Los Robles, ville à la frontière des Etats-Unis et du Mexique, une voiture explose, entraînant la mort d’un homme d’affaires. Mike Vargas assiste impuissant à la scène. Policier mexicain en voyage de noces avec son épouse Susan, il décide de mener l’enquête. Seulement son collaborateur Quinlan, le chef de la police, se révèle être aussi corrompu que perfide. Alors que les deux hommes s’opposent violemment, Mike comprend que cette affaire pourrait mettre Susan en danger.
Notes : Orson Welles n’a pas tourné après l’échec public et critique de La Dame de Shangaï en 1948. Il est d’abord contacté par Universal en tant qu’acteur. C’est son ami, le comédien Charlton Heston, l’interprète de Mike Vargas, qui réussit à convaincre les studios de confier à Welles la réalisation du film.
