you would sure think that with robert mitchum and jack lemmon and rita hayworth this would be an exceptional film but it isn not at least in a good way . despite all this talent and mitchum and hayworth be essentially waste especially mitchum who be give very little to do during the film other than to act grumpy . in addition and mid way through the film and the entire flow of the movie stop and it almost like an entirely different film for 45 minute . at the end and it unconvincingly return back to the original and far inferior story . the plot involve two partner who live in the caribbean make money take people on fish trip or do a little smuggling . when a guy pay them to transport miss hayworth secretly out of the country and mitchum responds with some nonsense about hat woman like her and other such nonsense . to the well train ear use to bad movie and this obviously mean i will act like i hate her through most of the film and but soon we will be slobber all over each other . what a horrid cliché and so predictable . later and when mitchum be treat hayworth badly and lemmon assume the role of sir galahad and defend her . eventually and he even decide he want to marry her and take care of her . however and hayworth know that she just no good and would not commit . in the interim and lemmon go on a very dangerous smuggle mission without mitchum . he want to get money for hayworth to smuggler her into the united state and so he feel it worth the risk . thing go poorly and however and and lemmon boat be destroy . he hop aboard a freighter and make for the island where hayworth be wait . however and completely out of the blue and there be an accident on board and lemmon be trap and the boat be about to explode ( gosh ) and there a very limited amount of time to save him . however and all attempt fail and it look like lemmon will be blow to smithereens . this part of the film be actually very tense and interesting and doesnt star mitchum or hayworth but a whole new cast of character . a i say and it like a movie within a movie . in the end and hayworth and mitchum return to help out good ol jack and but by now ( no surprise ) and hayworth and mitchum have discover that they do not hate each other but be in love ( gag me ) . the film be poorly construct and clichéd and stupid and fail to do anything with the only good part of the film ( lemmon trap on the boat ) . what a waste of good talent .
