**
Competent drama of passengers and crew of small plane discovering what they're made of after storm forces them down in South American jungle where headhunters are only one of their worries. With Rod Steiger as a killer on his way to a firing squad, Anita Ekberg as a kept woman en route to her new job as a whore, and several others, each with problems of their own. Nothing outstanding here, although Ekberg is certainly arresting. Filmed once before, also by Farrow, as Five Came Back (1939).
