Short description
When a car bomb explodes on the American side of the U.S./Mexico border, Mexican drug enforcement agent Miguel Vargas begins his investigation, along with American police captain Hank Quinlan. When Vargas begins to suspect that Quinlan and his shady partner, Menzies, are planting evidence to frame an innocent man, his investigations into their possible corruption quickly put himself and his new bride, Susie, in jeopardy.
What's left behind the scenes
- The screenplay was written based on Whit Masterson's novel «Sign of Evil».
- Many actors took on small roles and worked for below-standard rates simply to collaborate with Welles.
- Filming wrapped on schedule, Welles delivered a rough cut to the studio and was confident his Hollywood career was back on track. However, the studio substantially re-edited and partially reshot the film. It was given a B-movie classification and screened as a double feature.
- In 1993, the film was included in the National Film Registry of the United States of America.
