The Big Steal
The Big Steal
Jane and Duke (alias Capt. Blake) accidentally meet in Vera Cruz while chasing flim-flam man Fiske. Soon the local Inspector General (El Gato) is involved. Fiske races across Mexico, pursued by Jane and Duke, trailed by the real Capt. Blake. The crafty Inspector General is waiting for them in Tihuacan, but they all give him the slip just in time for the climactic finale. Very tight script and pacing.

Escapism is right! Teaming Greer and Mitchum and throwing in Bendix just works. Don't expect a serious crime film. This is light and has a rat-tat-tat crime speak that you either love or hate. A real treat for lovers of crime films from this period.
