Jeopardy

Jeopardy is a 1953 American crime drama directed by John Sturges. The black-and-white film stars Barbara Stanwyck and Barry Sullivan as a married couple, and Ralph Meeker as an escaped convict. The film was based on the 22-minute radio play "A Question of Time". Award-winning cinematographer Victor Milner, in addition to photographing the film, has a bit part in the movie. A portion of the film was shot in Pioneertown, and features footage of the "cantina" building that now houses Pappy & Harriet's. Plot Americans Doug and Helen Stilwin and their young son, Bobby, embark on a vacation driving across the border into desolate Baja California in Mexico to a remote fishing spot along the coast that her father used to frequent with his old military buddies.
