The film which made a star of Robert Mitchum , who plays an ex-private detective turned garage owner hired to find the girlfriend of an old gambling associate. His journey takes him down to Acapulco, where he finds himself falling in love with the dangerous lady in question. The brilliant dialogue, fine central performance and rich visual style have long established the movie as the masterwork of director Jacques Tourneur.
