Mitchum's character, Nick Cochran, ends up in Macao and is mistaken for Lawrence Trumble (William Bendix), who might or might not be a cop looking to extradite casino owner Vincent Halloran (Brad Dexter). Margie (Gloria Grahame) is the sensuous and abused ingenue tangled up with Halloran, and would steal every scene she’s in were she not equaled by Mitchum. Though she isn’t a favorite of mine, Russell and Mitchum had an easy rapport on and off screen apparently, but the film still would have been better with Gloria Grahame in her role and Russell taking over Gloria’s part.
Mitchum and Russell both had tremendous difficulties working with Joseph von Sternberg, and teamed up to against his dictatorial manner. Mitchum not only rewrote some of the convoluted script, but when Nicholas Ray had to step in, he reportedly helped direct some scenes as well. Everyone is a bit of a mystery in this film as to their motives and actions, spicing things up. The cops need to get Halloran out of Macao to nab him, but since everyone seems to be a bit on the shady side, it's hard to know who to trust.
Thomas Gomez rounds out the great cast as Lt. Sebastian. The exotic locale and attractive players makes for fine Hollywood escapism. That said, it's best not to think about this one too hard, and just sit back and enjoy it. A lot of fun. (
