7/10

Great story with an adorable FAY SPAIN.

Great story about an assassination plot in Puerto Rico. A lot of the climax scenes were shot at El Moro Castillo where we see most of the layout as the gun battle ensues. Unfortunately FAY SPAIN died at the early age of only 50. Such a beautiful actress taken from us far too soon. Larry Anderson.
