My rating: 6/10
Will I watch it again? No.
Well here's another flick with Peter Graves and Peggie Castle that I watched close to one another (the other being THE BEGINNING OF THE END (1957). Coincidences are neat, aren't they? This picture is OK. It benefits from the good cast. There might be a little more romance than you'd want to see but it's not so much that the action takes forever to get to but it does slow the movie down some. Rita Moreno is just adorable...
That's her putting the finishing touches on wasting a Gringo. It's not the film's fault but IMDb says this was shot widecreen and in color. As you can see, that's not how I saw it. This was recorded from TCM a gazillion years ago. B&W fullscreen is not the way to go on this one. If you're looking for a decent time killer, this will suffice.
