Review by bobs lucky cat : Set,in technicolor and wide screen, in 1950's Tarpon Springs and Key West Florida, this is not so bad. A very young Robert Wagner gives a stellar performance and woke up a lot of people at the time at 20th Century Fox with it. Gilbert Roland as his father is subdued (for him) and effective. Terry Moore was her usual sexy self, and quite good. Richard Boone and Peter Graves were just coming into their own and also quite good as well, mis-cast to some degree, especially Mr. Boone. They had star quality and it showed. Harry Carey Jr. was wasted in a small part of no consequence. However, plodding doesn't equal suspense and this film lumbers along in spots and the happy ending doesn't quite ring true. Great color and location shooting however, as well as superior (for 1953) stereo-phonic sound. It has a lot to recommend it. Worth a look.
thanks to the internet archive for this classic.

Is there a special reason to choose the 3.4 Gig file? There are three files to choose from and the other two are much smaller.

I think I saw this back to back with Boy On A Dolphin on late night TV one extraordinary night/morning around 1972. I've certainly seen both at different times on the tube but neither recently. I'm downloading the 418 MB mp4 file now to take another look at it. The price is definitely right. Thanks for the link.
I thought was the html tag to make a link but it doesn't appear in the preview that that is correct. Oh well.
Happy Bastille Day!
hey Bud
