I wonder what would be the odds of a man running away from the police for a murder he did not commit running into the real murderer on the road while he is trying to get away? 1000 to 1? 10,000 to 1? Better chance of winning the Lotto? That is what we are faced with in this film. We are expected to believe that a lotto coincidence takes place and that Richard Conte (decent actor) eventually finds a way to extract himself from a Rambo-type situation manhunt with the help of a convenient Hollywood ending. I'm sorry, but this film falls under the category of good try, but no cigar. The chances you would find a romantic interest as well as having your problem solved in the same time frame is also highly unlikely.
