Definitely a cross between film noir and an Indiana-Jones-type adventure. And since I like both genres I enjoyed this film. It's far from perfect, but it is unique with some surprising twists.

Noirish adaption of the David Dodge novel is

Noirish adaption of the David Dodge novel is highlighted by extensive use of Mexican locales and a strong performance by Glen Ford. Its hard to imagine John Wayne, whose production company put the film together, bringing the stoicism that Ford delivers and matches the novel perfectly. Unfortunately, the movie substitutes the more interesting Inca gold plot and setting in Peru for a treasure in Mexico. In the novel, the treasure is truly lost in barely charted territory, but here its inside a hidden chamber in a ruin frequented by tourists; just not as believable. Sean McClory is colorful as the chatty and nuanced heavy, Jefferson (note: in the novel this character is black). Diana Lynn's part is way too melodramatic, but its the same in the novel, so its no fault of the movie. The movie is photographed beautifully with an ominous atmosphere of shadows indoors that contrasts well with the luminous cinematography of the ruins of Vera Cruz and other locales. Kudos also goes to the score by Antonio Díaz Conde. Worth noting is the second-unit work by future Western/action director Andrew V. McLaglen.

Indiana Jones meets Film Noir as Glenn Ford

Indiana Jones meets Film Noir as Glenn Ford rummages around in Cuba and Mexico, trying to find legendary Zapotec treasure, evading criminals and the government on its way. Glenn Ford delivers in his classic stoic style, which fits good into this role as a broke anti-hero. The film features a good cast and the odd twist, at least it is not always easy to tell who is on who's side. Unfortunately, it is the love interest where the film truly fails, as Diana Lynn and Glenn Ford have virtually no on-screen chemistry. Diana Lynn does noz have too much screen presence anyway. Sean McGlory adds an ambigious rogue to the parade, which spices up the story and makes it more flexible. The film makes good use of the setting and scenes will frequently take place in ancient ruines and tunnels. A good adventure movie and an unusual genre mix, which works because Ford holds it together through his straight style. HX
