When their plane is forced to land in Browne's domain, Mike Latimer (Richard Widmark) and Katy Conners (Jane Greer) are captured by the villains. Browne offers his captives an hour's head-start to freedom, then sics his hunting dogs on the hapless pair. The rest of the film details the strenuous efforts by Latimer and Conners to escape with their lives. SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Product Description

Adventure and thrills

This is a great, old-fashioned adventure thriller with terrific locaton filming which adds a real air of authenticity to the whole proceedings. The DVD is bare-bones but great quality - anamorphic widescreen 2.35:1 taken from a very nice, sharp, colourful print free of defects.

If you love old British adventure movies like this and "Northwest Frontier", check this one out. It's dirty, sweaty and gritty, and always entertaining. May 7, 2008
