Fire Down Below (1957)
Member Rating:  
Jack Lemmon and Robert Mitchum star as Tony and Felix, co-owners of a tramp-steamer service in the West Indies. Threatening their friendship is itinerant trollop Irena (Rita Hayworth). Tony seethes with jealousy as Irena gravitates towards Felix, leading to a heated confrontation. Felix retaliates by blowing the whistle on Tony's under-the-counter smuggling activities. Tony in turns plots to kill his former partner, but changes his mind when Felix saves his life during a shipwreck. The supporting cast includes Herbert Lom, Bernard Lee, and Anthony Newley. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

If it were not for Rita Hayworth I would not have even bothered to watch this movie. This is an older looking Rita Hayworth and she doesn't do much but give sad and pitiful depressing stares. Her character was shallow. I guess that's not her fault but the fault of the script's lack of character developement. Robert Mitchum's character was obnoxious, and I did not enjoy watching him. The movie started out well with the Limbo dancing ect. but the movie just dragged the longer I watched it.

I found this movie, interesting, engaging and at times downright funny, because of Jack Lemmon. In any case this movie is entertaining and worth watching, at least once.

What they don't tell you is that somewhere around the 60 minute mark, Rita Hayworth and Robert Mitchum dissappear from this movie completely. Then it becomes a sad "Ace in the Hole" ripoff with Jack Lemmon taking center stage? WTF? And the 1950s crappy ending was NOT appreciated either. This movie is a serious letdown. And Mitchum wears the SAME dirty costume in every scene from start to finish - what gives?

It is hard to review this movie as Blockbuster by mistake sent me a different movie with the same title, so if you order this one you might not get this one.

THIS DVD WAS BROKEN & UNSERVICEABLE. PRINTING OF SYNOPIS ON ENVELOPE WAS FAINT AND ILEGIBLE.
