Joseph Cotton (Chris Hale) is a gambler and has a hidden past which is going to catch up with him, he stole a great deal of money from the Mob in Vegas and his days are numbered along with Paul Stewart(Whitey)(who appeared with Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton in the Old Radio Days) Whitey tries to get his share of the dough and causes a great deal of problems. In the meantime Hale falls in love with Alida Valli (Elaine Corelli, Valli) who is a a disabled rich woman. Even the famous Jack Paar appears in this picture as (Roy Healey) and performed a lot better on TV than his role in this pic. There is a high speed chase, 1950's style, and a very romantic scene where Cotton's sweetheart (Valli) tells him, "no matter where you go, You Belong to Me, we are made for each other, either in this world or another". Joseph Cotton was a great actor, he appeared in "Niagara" with Marilyn Monroe and many famous leading ladies. If you love Joe Cotton, you just have to view this well made 1950's film. It is way beyond criticism!
