Geraldine Carson (Rhonda Fleming) is unhappily married to tyrannical Donald Carson (Robert Ryan). She's also cheating on him with his friend Joseph Duncan (William Lundigan). They're all out in the desert one day when Donald breaks his foot. His wife and buddy leave him there telling him they'll send back help. They intend to leave him there to die. However he's determined NOT to die and get out.
Originally released in 3-D and stereophonic sound both of which are lost on TV...but it still holds up. It's quick (only 83 minutes) and well directed by Roy (Ward) Baker. Mostly it's a survival pic where we watch Ryan trying to live. It's all his show and he's great. Fleming and Lundigan are just so-so but they're both VERY good-looking and look great in bright brilliant Technicolor. There's also a brutal exciting fist fight here. Worth catching.
