4.0 out of 5 stars
run for the sun (dvd),
By
This review is from: Run For The Sun [DVD] (DVD)
This is one of Widmark's post 20th Century Fox films, and was done by MGM. It is smoothly acted with Jane Greer and Trevor Howard as co-stars. The story takes place in the jungles of Mexico where Widmark and Greer crash a small plane and are confronted with hiding Nazi supporters. The story is original, and the pace is good for the era. Richard Widmark gives an intelligent performance along with Howard. Not a blockbuster film, but it is certainly entertaining. I have often thought that Richard Widmark is more appreciated in Europe than the USA. This film is not available on dvd in the USA.

Well done version of The Most Dangerous Game,
By
This review is from: Run For The Sun [DVD] (DVD)
Roy Boulting directs this better than average adventure caper, one of several films that uses the famous Richard Connell story THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME as source material, the most famous version being the 1932 Joel McCrea film. Set in Mexico, a disillusioned novelist (Richard Widmark) and a journalist (Jane Greer) flying in his private plane crash in the Mexican jungle. They are found by a suspiciously secretive Brit (Trevor Howard) and his German companion (Peter Van Eyck) whose explanations for living buried in the jungle (in a handsome hacienda with Indian servants) don't quite add up and soon Widmark suspects they may be permanent prisoners. The steamy jungle locations, shot by Joseph LaShelle (THE APARTMENT), provide an exotic backdrop for this man hunts man thriller. While the outcome is never in doubt, Boulting keeps the tension tight as a drum and Widmark is always a welcome screen presence and the lovely Greer (OUT OF THE PAST) holds up her end too. Produced by actress Jane Russell and her then husband, Robert Waterfield.
The British release from Optimum Classics is a handsome looking print in its original 2.1 SuperScope format.
