PN1997 .B673 1949

Summary: From case cover: U.S. Agent Jack Bearnes lies in an open field, shot and beaten. A giant harrowing machine suddenly roars to life, its blades biting into earth. Terrified, Bearnes tries to crawl away. But the machine crawls faster. As searing as shot of tequila down a dust-parched throat, this steely thriller stars Ricardo Montalban and George Murphy as agents from each side of the Mexico-California border. Their job: catch the thieves, murderers and moneymen who pray on illegal aliens desperate to make a few Americano dollars sweating as farm laborers. Anthony Mann (Winchester '73, The Naked Spur) directs, turning his lens to the beauty and the terror of stark desert wastelands. Blending classic film noir with a surprisingly contemporary plot, Border Incident is relentless cutting-edge gem of the genre.
