We watched "Where Danger Lives" last night. Enjoyed it, thanks for the tip!

Mitchum was great, Faith Domergue beautiful but quite limited, which I suppose worked OK with that character.

The story gets pretty bizarre... beardwise.

After the opening credits (co-produced by Irwin Allen) we were hoping to actually see some SF...alas, only a tease. Claude Rains brief role was typically nuanced and brilliant- he was one of the absolutelly GREAT character actors. Didn't even recognize Maureen O'Hara...

No "Out of the Past", but quite enjoyable, and nice to see Mitchum given some room to stretch, and do it so well.
