Across the Bridge

From a novel by Graham Greene, Rod Steiger plays an unscrupulous financier who has absconded to Mexico with company funds. A genius at improvisation, he evades the authorities and concocts a scheme whereby he will murder a man, dispose of the body and assume the dead man's identitie. He soon learns the dead man whose identity he assumed was an even more notorious fugitive from justice. (Verleiher-Text)
