Featured review
Their money or his hide
I guess the prospect of doing a film in Beirut was enough inducement to get Mickey Rooney to go to the Middle East. Over the past score of years the various factions fighting for control of Beirut and the country of Lebanon would make it highly unlikely that 24 Hours To Kill would ever be done there today. If anyone wanted to bother.
Lex Barker is a TWA pilot and while on a flight to Athens his plane develops engine trouble and has to make an emergency landing in Beirut. Mickey Rooney is rather nervous about Beirut it seems as though he was doing a little smuggling on the side, taking advantage of his position with the airlines. He's stolen about $40,000.00 from some people in Beirut and they want their money or his hide.
Mickey Rooney gives an interesting portrayal of a man who essentially is a rat. He has no loyalties and doesn't care how he's put his fellow crew members in jeopardy. Walter Slezak playing his usual avuncular villain and he's always good, but he's done all this before.
The rest simply walk through the film looking like they were hoping their paychecks would clear. Nothing hear for anyone to remember or care about.
