Auf der Jagd nach dem verlorenen Gold

This movie isn't the greatest Burt Reynolds movie but hey its brother Burt so how bad can it be? Bit boring but love Anne Francis so i stuck it out

This movie isn't that bad as it is confusing. One wonders why three people were needed or why they didn't do it earlier in the first place. Do Indians really say "Ay Chihuahua?" This film doesn't even have the pleasures of a caper film, because of all the loose ends. The ending was pretty anti-climatic as well. I wonder why screenwriters allow these plots to be so flimsy. Watch only if you enjoy Far East scenery.

During the late 1960s and into the 70s, the Philippines was the site of quite a few ultra-cheap movies....and some of the most famous were the 'girls in chains' exploitation films. But they were not restricted only to this cheesy genre....and "Impasse" is proof there were more movies made there than just exploitation.

Burt Reynolds stars as Pat Morrison, the leader of a group of men who are in search of lost gold. It seems that as the country was falling to the Japanese in WWII, the US Army hid valuables...including gold. Well, a friend of Pat's knows where the gold might be...and so Pat organizes a group of men to help in retrieving it.

This is a decent adventure film and in spite of its humble location, Reynolds has a decent cast supporting him. The script also isn't bad. Overall, one of Reynolds' better films.

It must have been a frustrating time for Burt Reynolds!! A good role in"100 Rifles" and then the lead role opposite Anne Margaret in "Sam Whiskey" before he made this low budget flick.

Plot In A Paragtaph: Pat Morrison (Burt Reynolds) leads of group of salvagers to hunt for some hidden gold before World War II. Blackmail and betrayal soon follow.

Burt Reynolds makes the most of his role and shows great promise for more important roles. He emerges the movies real star "acting wise" and he is the best thing about this flick. So often the case during Reynolds early movies.

Reynolds fast-moving performance adds the movies only real excitement, and there is a surprise ending, which Hollywood would probably never pull now.

Burt Reynolds plays a leader of a salvage team attempting to recover gold treasures in corregidor hidden by the Japanese in world war II. Now in modern day, the ex-soldiers are sent to the Philippines to assist Reynolds in finding the gold. A lot of setbacks, kidnapping, blackmail occurs.

The movie was actually filmed in 1968 to be released the following January for a TV audience.
