Quiz
Jeopardy was Barbara Stanwyck's first film after taking a year off from her screen career. Her original intention had been to retire after La confessione della signora Doyle (1952) (filmed in 1951 but not released until 1952) but after spending some time in Europe, she said, "I simply didn't know what to do with myself, so I went back to work."

Blooper
When the incoming tide is washing against Helen, her hair is soaked and in the next shot her hair is styled then soaked again .

Citazioni
Helen Stilwin: If he dies, I promise you one thing... I'll kill you.
Lawson, the Fugitive: That puts you in a class with 10,000 cops. They all got the same idea.
Helen Stilwin: It's a good idea.

Tense Drama

Jeopardy (1953)

*** (out of 4)

John Sturges directed this intense thriller about a wife (Barbara Stanwyck) and husband (Barry Sullivan) who take their son on a vacation to Mexico so that they can go fishing but an accident happens and the husband gets his leg caught under a log. With the tide coming in, the wife has to try and get help before it's too late but she gets kidnapped by an escaped murderer (Ralph Meeker). This film seems to get mixed reviews and while it's not classic Sturges I still felt there was enough suspense packed in the 67-minute running time to make the film highly enjoyable. I've never found Stanwyck to be sexy so that takes away from some of her roles for me but she's terrific when playing it tough and that's the case here. She's really good in the tough role and Meeker is the perfect snake to go against her. Sullivan is also very good in his moments with his son played by Lee Aaker. There are a few flaws throughout the film and the ending is pretty weak but there's still plenty to enjoy here. The score by Dimitri Tiomkin also adds to the suspense.
