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.
