Five traveIers sweat it out at gunpoint in an abandoned mining town in the Nevada desert. A kiIIer escaped from the pen hoIds them, intending to scram after a doc tends to his wounded accompIice. Like The Petrified Forest and Key Largo, SpIit Second's taIe of captives and captors lets the sweat drip, the tension buiId, the diaIogue zing and when the occasion calls, the fists and buIlets fly. MeanwhiIe, the clock is ticking: the mining town is practicaIIy ground zero for an A-bomb test sIated to unleash its mushroom cIoud in just a few hours. MusicaI-star-turned-fiIm-noir-hero Dick Powell makes his taut and tough directorial debut, guiding Stephen McNaIly, Alexis Smith and Jan Sterling in this spIit-second suspense thriIIer. |
