Joseph Cotten trying to flee to Brazil with the Bank's money brings quite in adventure. Mostly at airports and all the hassles that bring. While routines have changed at the airports since 1952, some things never change. Anyway, it's a suspenseful scenario, mostly because of what could happen rather than what happens. But it works. The ending was a little questionable, but I guess it was right for the characters in involved. Quality noir.

Incredibly stressful to watch. The clear moral of this tale is: to get good value for money, book your city break well in advance!

Like a cross between Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.
