Spiel mit dem Feuer (1957)

Spiel mit dem Feuer: Directed by Robert Parrish. With Rita Hayworth, Robert Mitchum, Jack Lemmon, Herbert Lom. The friendship between two tramp boat owners is threatened by the arrival of a beautiful and seductive passenger.

“No-one would ever accuse u0026quot;Fire Down Belowu0026quot; of being a good film but photographed in Cinemascope and Technicolour on location in the Caribbean itu0026#39;s certainly a handsome one, Throw in Robert Mitchum, Rita Hayworth and Jack Lemmon and it becomes a film with star quality as well. The plot is as old as the hills as pals Mitchum and Lemmon fall out over Hayworth, the woman they are transporting u0026#39;from nowhere to nowhereu0026#39;. The film generates a little excitement, (though not much), when Lemmon gets trapped in a ship that is about to blow up. The terrible dialogue is courtesy of Irwin Shaw from a book by Max Catto and director Robert Parrish was hardly the man to turn a pigu0026#39;s ear into a silk purse.”
