When Richard Widmark tells the girl, for whose good cause he is stealing the money, "I have to go away for a while", he exactly copies the words of Charlie Chaplin in "City Lights" , when he was going to have to go to jail for "stealing" the money for that girl's good cause.
But "City Lights" is so much more well made and beautiful.
The bizarre plot of this film involves the use of sub-machine guns to hijack a 'plane, with the predictable injury and loss of life, in order to get the required money for a good cause !!
The film also involves rather too much of Widmark shouting at everyone; I couldn't understand why he was in such a bad mood.
Stupidest bit of a weird plot? When a military policeman doesn't remove a firearm from the sleeping, deranged Nigel Patrick character, before telling him they are giving the money back!
I suppose there are some interesting 1950s scenery, planes and cars.
