Crooner Frank Sinatra, carrying on his round-the-world pursuit of Cinemactress Ava Gardner, entered new territory when he and Ava flew off to Mexico for "a quiet vacation" together. It turned out to be neither very quiet nor much of a vacation. At El Paso, when reporters asked if the junket was going to include plans for a quick south-of-the-border divorce from Wife Nancy (who is about to bring her own suit in California), Frankie snarled: "You're wasting your time.

Though she is already hotly pursued by the greatest matador in all Spain and engaged to the world's fastest auto-racer, Ava feels drawn to the mysterious stranger. At length, while an ominous soundtrack narrator keeps describing what is all too visible on the screen, and the camera catches some revealing glimpses of Ava swimming out to his anchored ship, the picture's catchall plots bring selfish Ava to the point where she will gladly give her life for love of him. But Mason loves her too much to let her do it. Another flick of Omar...
