John Cromwell had a long and distinguished career. It's difficult to fathom his involvement with this. On the other hand, "The Scavengers" could have been worse than it is. Maybe.
Its ramshackle plot is at the core of its problems. In some ways, it resembles adventure/noir movies earlier in the decade that starred Robert Mitchum. They didn't always make sense either. But this doesn't make sense on a grand, yet grungy, scale.
Vince Edwards is fine as the leading man. Did he ever smile on-camera? If so, he certainly doesn't here. He wears an open shirt, showing the hairy chest that was favored in this movie's time (and is missed by many.) The less said about the leading lady the better. The supporting players are fine.
It won't offend anyone and it isn't terrible. It just isn't very good. At all.
