Ricardo Montalban stars in this 1950 crime drama as a Cape Cod police detective who turns to a Harvard forensic expert to identify and track down the murderer of a skeleton washed up on a dune.This film, directed by John Sturges with famed cinematographer, John Alton. may be the first to feature forensics in crime solving. 93 minutes. CC.
Ricardo Montalbon, perhaps the first Mexican actor to make it big in Hollywood, does a fine job in this role. He doesn't play a Latin lover but a small town detective whose Portuguese ancestors were part of the Cape Cod scene. His most famous role was "Khan" on the Star Trek series.
The supporting cast was excellent. Bruce Bennett excelled as the Harvard forensics specialist, and Director John Sturges gave Sally Forrest, Elsa Lancaster, Jan Sterling, and Betsy Blair all a chance to turn in fine performances.
