A stark, perverse story of murder, kidnapping, and police corruption in a Mexican border town.
Orson Welles gave one of his most Shakespearean performances as an ageing, corrupt police chief in this remarkable melodrama.
It is typical of Orson Welles that he takes a B-movie thriller set on the Mexican border and gives it a Shakespearian grandeur.
