INFERNOStarring Robert Ryan, Rhonda FlemmingSynopsis by Hal Erickson Brief and very much to the point, "Inferno" is a grim, fascinating tale of survival. Breaking his leg on a vacation trip, millionaire Carson (Robert Ryan) is left in the middle of the desert by his wife Geraldine (Rhonda Fleming) and his business partner Joseph Duncan (William Lundigan). Ostensibly, they have driven off to seek medical aid for Carson; in fact, they intend to leave him in the desert to die of thi...rst and exposure. When the truth of his dilemma is made clear, Carson vows to live long enough to exact revenge against his wife and partner. Virtually a one-man show for the most part, "Inferno" maintains its level of taut suspense from start to finish -- and what a finish. The first 3D effort from 20th Century-Fox, "Inferno" was remade for television in 1973 as "Ordeal", with Arthur Hill in the Robert Ryan part and Diana Muldaur and James Stacy as his would-be murderers.IMDB review by HEFILM -"Worth your time should be better known" Pretty inventive script, Robert Ryan helps pull off quite a bit of voice over dialog, nice photography, (I did see it in 3D) well paced there are a number of clever script/plot elements that keep it going and a great fight scene(which features most of the 3D Fx in the movie). Sort of a desert Film Noir really, well directed by the mostly always good Roy (Ward) Baker this holds up. There is constant cross cutting between Ryan's plight in the desert and the two villains swimming or eating and drinking that really builds your hatred of them and your siding with Ryan. No mamsey pamsey character softening here, which keeps it tough, but reality based, throughout. It's not a cartoon at any moment which can happen with B films. Though also perhaps the limited character development keeps it slightly in the programmer category. Good music score by Paul Sawtell as well. This movie moves quickly doesn't have the soapy elements, or bloated running time, that killed off many color crime films in the 1950's.ABOUT THE PRINT - This is NOT a 3-D print. It is a standard ratio print / Colors are still good but some strange color shifts in the desert scenes which have a "sun-down" look in some scenes but the blues, greens, yellowsm etc. are still in tact. The black levels are somewhat browninsh which is typical of a Fuji stock print.
