If anyone noticed Cry Of The Hunted at least it seemed to me to be a remake of a
film did by MGM in 1852, The Wild North. That's where Stewart Granger plays a
fugitive fur trapper in the Yukon and Wendell Corey the Mountie out to get his man.
The location moves a few thousand miles south to the Louisiana bayou where Cajun prisoner Vittorio Gassmann escapes cop William Conrad and heads for the bayou swamp which he knows.
Another cop Barry Sullivan takes it as a personal insult that Gassman escaped since he tried to befriend him and goes after him despite warnings from the locals that there's parts of the bayou they don't go into.
Most of the film is Sullivan and Gassman alone and they talk a lot as each tries to figure the other out. Polly Bergen has a good turn as Sullivan's wife.
Best in the film Mary Zavian as Gassman's woman and one deadly Cajun temptress. Her scenes are worth the wait.
