Review

another great little stanwyck film. this one is directed by john sturges and has ralph meeker as the bad guy. family goes to mexico and father/husband gets pinned under a fallen pier. the wife (stanwyck) needs to drive for hours back to a little town to retrieve some rope and/or help. instead she runs into a convict (meeker) who takes her hostage. in the end things work out, but it’s a great ride and all the performers do a great job. the little kid is an adorable and dutiful son. probably not as cute as the kid in shane, though. nice picture.
