Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Passable thriller with Raft as a reformed criminal persuaded (mainly by the appearance of Foch as a mysterious siren) to hunt down a traitorous counterfeit gang on behalf of the Treasury Department. Things take a lift as the action shifts to an island off the Florida coast, the script begins to filch from The Hounds of Zaroff, and Macready's suavely decadent villain proceeds to hunt Raft with bow-and-arrow (he doesn't get him, sad to say).
