    Nice face off between Robert Stack and Pernell Roberts

    Strong performances by Stack and Pernell Roberts, especially Roberts who plays a great villain. Roberts still looks handsome behind the cheesey moustache he wears for his role as head prison guard. Today (2022) it's a bit off putting to hear the term "wet back" used every five seconds but this was made 50 years ago. Also nice cameo by Dorothy Lamour.
