Robert Mitchum is a gambler in debt who is offered 50 grand to go to a vacation lodge in Mexico. Once he arrives, he spends his time, and most of the movie, flirting with Jane Russell, ordering endless ginger ales or goofing off with Jim Backus and Vincent Price. Eventually, an undercover cop tells him why he is there and the action picks up towards the end. Supposedly this is a comedy or spoof, but other than Price hamming it up I just didn't see it that way. It's too long and mostly talk, talk, talk.
