Directed by Richard Brooks
Dr. Eugene Ferguson, vacationing in a Latin American country, faces a moral and tactical dilemma when the nation’s dictator is injured in an assassination attempt, and Ferguson is apprehended to perform surgery. Weighing his own safety with his principles, Ferguson becomes caught in a widening web of intrigue. Brooks graduated to directing with this study of conscience thanks to the support of Cary Grant, who recognized the accomplished writer’s promise.
