Impasse (1968)
Director: Richard Benedict
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The sort of film that now probably sorely embarrasses Burt Reynolds, a tedious action-man adventure that has him searching for a cache of gold in the Philippines, stashed away by five soldiers (using a complicated system of safeguards) during World War II. Screenwriter John C Higgins was once under contract to MGM's B unit, bringing him assignments like Zinnemann's Kid Glove Killer and Anthony Mann's Border Incident; but by this time he'd gone through Untamed Youth towards the ultimate dross of Daughters of Satan, also made on the cheap in the Philippines.Author: PT
