Robert Mitchum and the Wildcats Sexy Elsa Martinelli and tries to be closer to the experienced hunter of wild cats. She is married to a rich and powerful man. Rich enough to afford the services of such an expensive hunter as the hero Robert Mitchum. Any whim can be paid for. Only here, the loyalty of his wife and his own prudence can not be compensated by money. Therefore, the leisurely movement of the whole ribbon, through understandable adventures in Africa, filled with lazy adultery and passionate wild cats - real predators will be replaced by a sharp final chord. In the best traditions of Hitchcock, the action will be transferred to the train, and there the character of Jack Hawkins will completely upset the psyche.
Fortunately, instead of a nervous thriller, we get another film with the brave Robert Mitchum, who of course will be surprised by the final scenario, but it is clear that he will cope with all the difficulties. An iconic hero may not be rich and influential, but his other qualities must compensate for everything. These are the traditions of the heroic style of which Mitchum was an element. The film is another acquaintance with the mythological biography of his on-screen double. This time he will fight with wild cats and charm Elsa Martinelli. A kind of paraphrase “Macomber case”, made not without the influence of Hitchcock.
