Jeff Chandler has served a term in prison for armed robbery and has been deported back to Italy. No one has ever seen the hundred thousand dollars he stole, and his old partner, Richard Rober, wants his half. Chandler beats him up and tells him he's out. As Chandler settles into his birth town near Naples -- actual setting is in Tuscany, stunningly shot by William Daniels -- he meets Countess Märta Torén and several black market operators. When the Countess persuades him to help out her food relief program with money, what's going on in his mind?
It's a nice caper film, and Chandler's character is nicely written and performed under the direction of Robert Siodmak. This New York Jewish actor (born Ira Grossel) certainly played a lot of ethnic types in his early starring roles!
