the leading man is my tpye

Beautiful, moving film.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

I saw this as a kid and never forgot it, Always waited to see this on TV, even on a classic channel, but never is it shown...finally found a copy of it, and still even in today's society of gore and violence, a true nail biter that is a must see. Glen Ford does a excellent job as a bitter doctor with a past, and Stella Stevens also portrays a woman with a past. They get thrown together and the sparks fly. Why this movie was forgotten is unclear maybe because was filmed in Mexico, or maybe the director was unknown, but was well thought out and written. My wife had never seen it , and she says the suspense was almost too much for her.

Glenn Ford was VERY underrated as an actor as one other post has said. He was VERY GOOD in this movie and the story was equally enjoyable. The title says it all. If you've ever lived through the horror of MAYBE contracting rabies, this performance is VERY understandable. I saw this movie many years ago and still remember the performance that Glenn Ford gave. Now that he's gone MAYBE the Academy of Arts and Sciences will see fit to honor a great actor who should have been honored many many years ago. This man had a 4 or 5 decades worth of performances and everyone of them was top-notch. Good bye, Mr. Ford. I know that you're in Heaven and watching us at this very moment!

Mr. Ford never got the recognition he deserved for the consistent quality of his acting. 'Rage' also seems to have been forgotten in the shuffle, but is actually a very enjoyable film. The story is simple: a lush doctor is bitten by a rabid dog and has only a limited time to find the antidote before the diseases manifests itself. Doesn't sound like much of a story, but with a little help from Stella Stevens, who puts in a good performance as 'fallen woman', the plot moves along nicely. Some local flavor of the Mexican countryside is thrown in and all in all, a very enjoyable flic.

Low budget, and it shows. Glenn Ford's desperate search for a doctor after being bitten by a rabid dog just doesn't provide enough story or dialogue to fill the 90-odd minutes of this film. The result is far too many scenes of characters looking tense and concerned (Montezuma's Revenge?) as their vehicles slowly trudge across the desert. Not recommended.
