Like RING OF FEAR, the John Wayne-produced PLUNDER OF THE SUN is a little-seen classic long held out of print by a legal dispute with the Duke's family. Based on a novel by David Dodge, the vintage action-thriller stars Glenn Ford as an American insurance agent who finds himself embroiled in a deadly struggle for Aztec treasure when he is hired to smuggle a priceless artifact from Cuba to Mexico. Diana Lynn, Patricia Medina, Francis L. Sullivan, and Sean McClory round out the star-studded cast as the variously dissolute archaeologists, antiques dealers, and vixens who cross Ford's path.

"Plunder of the Sun" is basically a low rent "Maltese Falcon" or "Casablanca" without the conscience. It's not quite film noir, but with the ancient Mexican locations, you might call it pelicula negra.

Has its moments in the sun but fails to be convincing.
