Crisis (1950 Richard Brooks & scr)

A timely film, with Venezuela kicking off, depicting a dictator-led South American country where surgeon Cary Grant is kidnapped to save the brain of top bastard José Ferrer. Both are good - Cary in serious mode - another lesson to our neighbour who says he's the same in everything - and Peter's right - he looks totally convincing as doctor / surgeon. Miklos Rozsa gets in some music before some good flamenco takes over.

George Tabori came up with this good story, which opens exactly like Touch of Evil. Ray June shot it. With Paula Raymond, Signe Hasso, Leon Ames, Ramon Novarro. MGM. Very interesting, suspenseful drama.
