Review of Dangerous Crossing

Although the story where a person seems to disappear without trace and no one believes he or she existed except their companion has been repeated often, I had high hopes for DANGEROUS CROSSING. But the movie was ultimately disappointing because of uninspired handling of a good plot. No one involved seemed to be very interested in what was going on and the sequence of events looked horribly contrived. Jeanne Crain's hysterical overacting gets on one's nerves 10 minutes into the film and never lets go. Dull direction and wooden performances by rest of the cast do not help much and even the normally reliable Michael Rennie looks like he wants to be somewhere else. Overall a forgettable little film.
