Pretty good suspense-noir-romance in 3D, not quite an A and not quite a B, with prizefighter Robert Mitchum agonizing over having killed a rival in the ring (shades of Golden Boy) while he pursues moll Linda Darnell, who is pursued by amorous hit man Jack Palance, all running around streets in unnamed Mexican tourist towns. The racial stereotyping is a bit thick, and the screenplay isn't exactly overflowing with fresh situations or good lines. But there's plenty of local color, and an exciting climax aboard a disabled cable car. The stunts are impressive, Darnell's typically beautiful, and Bob Mitchum doing his sexy-laconic-sarcastic thing was always something to behold.
