So much average

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This IS a boring film, particularly in the beginning. I had read all the reviews posted here before watching it. If there IS a guy named Dutch in the film, why does his accent have to sound like a Dutchman? Maybe it was Fritz one reviewer was referring to. Fritz spoke English really good. Now the little Puerto Rican boy, he was something else. He spoke in broken English, but should have been coached to not make perfect Rs and Ts when he spoke, thus sounding more like a kid who couldn't speak English very well. I agree whole-heartedly with the reviewer who pointed out that a man was murdered by softly tapping his head on the floor three times. The film editor must have forgotten to cut out every other frame at that point to make it look like his head was hitting the floor hard. I gave this film a 3 because after reading the other reviews, I was ready for a terribly boring film. I felt the film could have been a lot more so... boring.

Ey Gods, nothing at all redeeming about this turkey. The acting is beyond stilted. The plot is plot less.And who the devil cast the lawyer? This guy was obviously trying to imitate Sidney Greenstreet, with none of Greenstreet's charm, intelligence, and naughtiness. I kept thinking he was cast from the hotel staff at which the actors were staying. Probably the bartender in the hotel bar.I get the feeling that everyone involved simply wanted a bit of vacation time in Puerto Rico.If you love bad films, this one's for you!

What a disappointment this film turns out to be. It starts off slowly and the viewer keeps hoping something will happen - it never does! The thin plot is hardly worth the effort, the dialogue is stilted, the acting generally wooden, and the production values poor. The Dutchman must have the worst accent ever committed to film, and the whole thing is a total drag. In fact, the only reason for scoring any points at all for this borathon, is the presence of the beautiful Allison Hayes. Though even she cannot lift this sad effort off the floor, and it simply drifts along to a totally boring & unimaginative conclusion. Put quite simply - give it a very wide berth!!

Definitely a classic of the B-movie genre. Director was the man who discovered a young Joe Yule...who went on to achieve great fame as Mickey Rooney. This film was shot on location in Puerto Rico. Forrest Tucker, already a busy Hollywood actor, had an opportunity to play a romantic lead in this picture, and took it. Also starring as his love interest, Connie, was the beautiful Allison Hayes, who eventually went on to assume the mantle of B-movie cult royalty playing the eponymous role of the "big girl" in "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman". The part of Manuel, friend to the accused man, is played by talented New York newcomer Jackie Wayne, who was just coming off a 2-year run in the Broadway musical "Damn Yankees".
