Run for the Sun

Widmark is an adventurer and writer who is sought out by reporter Greer. She goes to Mexico hoping to do a story on why Widmark stopped writing, and when she does find him they fall in love. They hop on a plane, which crashes in the Mexican jungles. The couple meet up with two strange men, Howard and Van Eyck, and Widmark discovers that Van Eyck is a wanted Nazi war criminal and Howard a British traitor. With their true identities known, the two subject Greer and Widmark to a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. Widmark uses his knowledge of the jungle and survival to turn the tables on the two men. This was an initial effort for the Russ-Field production company, and the first film in three years for the lovely Greer. The film includes two songs, "Taco" and "Triste Ranchero" (Frederick Steiner, Nestor Amaral). (texto oficial do distribuidor)
