In a desperate attempt to get out of debt, career gambler Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum) agrees to rendezvous with a mysterious contact at a distant Mexican resort in exchange for $50,000. Upon arriving, Milner meets his fellow guests, including a plastic surgeon, a philandering movie star (Vincent Price) and his beautiful girlfriend (Jane Russell). Soon Milner discovers that the man who hired him may be the ruthless Nick Ferraro -- a deported Italian gangster who looks just like him.

This one’s an absolute treat, with Vincent Price delivering one of his best performances as a vainglorious actor.

Adventurous and exciting in ways missing from other movies made by more stable individuals.

I should like to yawn in its face, but I must commend to you Mr. Vincent Price who, as a ham film star on vacation, is, when translating his braggadocio screen roles into real life, intensely funny.

Price's role was priceless as the conceited thespian quoting Shakespeare during perilous moments.

Robert Mitchum should have Vincent Price arrested for grand theft movie. Price made a decent movie unique and must watch with his hilarious character.
