The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Boy the reviews here are pretty strong for a mediocre crime/survival drama. It's worth watching but I don't get the love even though I'm a lifelong desert rat (on the other hand maybe that's why I'm unimpressed, the desert scenes are as over-dramatized as they are weak).Ryan does an OK job winning our sympathy once he's been out in the desert a while but the scenes where he's trying to move/climb/hunt are so hokey that it gets a bit comical. The actual best part IMO is the ridiculous melodrama of Fleming and Lundigan dealing with fear that someone will figure out what they did as their lust smolders back at the awesome vintage 50s motel.As for the 3D well I was never a fan (except for the so-bad-it's-awesome Treasure Of The Four Crowns) or the contrived ways most 3D films try and mix in an object headed at the screen but if you want to see someone throw a knuckle curve with a kerosene lantern, this is the movie for you!

I think Robert Ryan is one of the greatest actors of his time and its a shame that he seems to be forgotten in todays movie society, This is am excellent example of Ryans acting prowess and shows how the will to live is so strong despite being betrayed and abandoned in a place with out hope. I would say this is a must see for people interested in Robert Ryans acting and his excellent ability to make it all seem so real. I like the fact that he never gives up despite all the odds thrown against him when adultery alone makes most people lose the will to carry on. I have seen this movie twice now and have been riveted to the TV both times. Years ago having seen Robert Ryan in a few movies I thought he was OK but this movie proves he was much more than that and I look forward to discovering him in his other movies I have yet to see.

You only have to watch INFERNO for a few moments to realize it was filmed originally in 3-D, the popular fad that existed in the early '50s to draw people away from their TV sets.But here, at least, it's used to great effect with many camera shots showing things tossed at the camera obviously designed for 3-D effect. But best of all, the story is a good one involving a man's survival on the desert after being dumped there by his greedy wife (RHONDA FLEMING) and her lover (WILLIAM LUNDIGAN). Fleming looks ravishing in Technicolor but she's a cold-hearted bitch.Surprisingly, it's ROBERT RYAN who turns into a sympathetic character once his situation looks hopeless. Another twist in the casting is having Lundigan play a villain for a change.The payoff (when it comes) is effective, as the plot moves toward an action-filled climax in the cabin where Ryan has been befriended by HENRY HULL. Lundigan returns with a shotgun aiming to make sure Ryan is dead when all hell breaks loose.Tidy little thriller is worth watching, well directed for taut suspense by Roy Ward Baker. Good cinematography, even without the 3-D look, and the well choreographed fight between Lundigan and Ryan is a realistic one.

My Dad took me to see this when I was 5. I was so engrossed in the perils of Robert Ryan, I had to look away because I was so worried he would kill himself. The movie must have made a big impression on me to have remembered it at such a young age. I saw it on cable many years later and it still was a great movie experience. But I think the 3-D experience made it better. William Lundigan plays a forgettable role here and I remember him only because he was a home-grown talent from Syracuse. Rhonda Fleming plays her usual fiery redhead role here. Robert Ryan was a superb actor and as with all his movies whether the lead or supporting creates a character that fits the role he was chosen for. A good movie for the whole family.
