Orson Welles' seedy film noir set amongst the criminal underbelly of a Mexican border town stars Charlton Heston as a high ranking narcotics official drawn into an investigation of a dangerous drug lord.
The film's famous opening shot is one of the many pleasures in this complex crime drama which also features memorable performances from Marlene Dietrich, Mercedes McCambridge and Welles himself as the tragic Police Captain Hank Quinlan.
Above all though, it's Henry Mancini's electrifying jazz score that brings to life the sleazy world populated by hop-headed teenagers, double crossing, kidnapping and corruption.
