Jeopardy Summary
Director: John Sturges
Genres: Thriller
Rating:
The answer is: A turgid melodrama. The question: What is Jeopardy? Barbara_Stanwyck stars as a suburbanite on a Mexican vacation with her husband (Barry_Sullivan) and son (Lee_Aaker). The threesome runs afoul of escape convict Ralph_Meeker. Stanwyck's dilemma: Attempting to rescue her husband from drowning, while staving off the carnal demands of Meeker, who holds Stanwyck and her son at gunpoint. Jeopardy is on and off in only 69 minutes, but 64 of those minutes seem far longer. Trivia note: When dramatized on Lux Radio Theater, Jeopardy costarred child actor Harry_Shearer, later a comic regular on Saturday_Night_Live. Hal Erickson, Rovi
