Warning: Spoilers
Millionaire business tycoon Donald Whitley Carson III(Robert Ryan)is left to die in a southwestern desert by his conniving wife, Geraldine (Rhonda Fleming) and her lover Joseph Duncan(William Lundigan). Carson suffering a broken leg and with little water has revenge to sustain his sanity. He finds money is worthless and that cactus is a source of water. Geraldine fears her husband has somehow survived the rigors of the desert and insists that Duncan drive her to the desert and finish off the dirty deed. Ryan is strong in this stunning and suspenseful saga of survival. Fleming's good looks are more obvious than her acting abilities. There are some astounding scenes of the desert. INFERNO, being the first 3-D release from 20th Century Fox, holds up well even without that visual treatment. Also starring are: Larry Keating, Carl Betz, Robert Burton and Henry Hull.
