Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe red tour buses shown are original and still in use today. They are Model 706 built by the White Motor Company from 1936-1939. Called Jammer buses, they do tours of the Going To The Sun across Glacier National Park. They were rebuilt in the early 2000s to run on propane and install automatic transmissions.
- GoofsWhen Joe shows Matt the wanted poster regarding Mary's father, Matt's thumb and forefinger hold the poster at the top in the upper left corner in the closeup but are a few inches lower in the continuous action reverse shot.

Featured review
Watch vincent price perform like a silent film actor.
I knew Price as a campy 50s and 60s horror actor, but, knowing he had plenty of 40s and 50s dramas under his belt, I figured the campiness was intentional. Dangerous Mission suggests otherwise, as revealed in his reaction-rhythms in the final action acts on the glacier.
This movie is standard 50s minor-suspense fare for name actors, notably Victor Mature. As others smartly noted, this was one of those 50s "technicolor resort movies" that intentionally showcased sweeping vistas for the new widening screen, when it was feared that the new talking picture box in everyone's homes would kill cinema in america.
Its writers squandered an easy opportunity to keep us in suspense as to who was the cop and who was the killer, but after too few brief minutes of that, it just tells us. That relatively quick reveal is much easier to write and direct, but it does viewers a disservice.
Odd here -- william bendix as the chief ranger. He's unusually stiff for such a fluid performer.
This movie is beautiful in that 50s technicolor way that many movies were in those days, and there's too many suits and nice dresses worn for a remote western park, but what the hey. Time watching this is not wasted.
