j F Widmark was an excellent actor, and the plot action packed. The scenery of Mexico interesting. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Exciting and suspenseful reworking of "The Most Dangerous Game" has Richard Widmark as a reclusive Hemingway-like writer living in Mexico and Jane Greer as a magazine reporter trying to find out why he stopped writing. Two find themselves stranded in the jungle after their plane crashes. They happen upon a remote compound with some friendly European gentlemen, except that these gentlemen really aren't so friendly and SPOILER ALERT! are Nazi and Russian war criminals who then want to hunt Widmark and Greer for sport. Tone can be difficult with these human-hunting-human stories, where it can easily become ridiculous (i.e. "Hart Target"), but this film gets it right and I'll credit the smart script co-written by Dudley Nichols, who wrote everything from "Bringing Up Baby" to "Stagecoach." The story moves along at a good clip, with Widmark growing increasingly suspicious of his hosts, and has some solid action and suspense once the hunt begins. FUN FACT: According to IMDB, Richard Widmark thought this was one of his worst films and used to tell his kids that if they didn't behave themselves, they'd have to watch " Run for the Sun". Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great performances, intelligent character development, sumptuous jungle settings and an edge-of-your seat storyline. Many modern movies could take a leaf out of this film's book. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 74% My favorite version of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME is SURVIVING THE GAME. Ice TTTTT. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member another sunny remake of 'the most dangerous game". Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid classic adventure-thriller headlined by a great cast, particularly Richard Widmark at his gritty best. Not quite memorable enough to be a real classic, but there are enough compelling characters and two-fisted action sequences to make it an entertaining potboiler. Great score by Fred Steiner.
