In Richard Brooks' film, Stew Granger was the good guy and Bob Taylor the heavy; here, this is the contrary. I admit that Granger is here a smooth bad guy, a character to whom you may feel some empathy. I particularely appreciate his role, a very ambivalent character. Nearly one third of the film is devoted, thru a falshback, to tell his story. This movie has the particularity to focus on both Taylor and Granger. A good adventure yarn for me, among the best of Thorpe's features.
