La rabia por dentro

Tito is a suave swindler who dreams of skimming a large sum of money believed to be on a flight abroad. He threads the plan through Carlos, a cautious cashier at a big company, who must plant a time bomb on the jet while the money travels. With the clock ticking, Tito flirts with Rita, a glamorous North American starlet, and also pursues a Mexican chorus girl who becomes entangled in the scheme. At first the setup looks flawless, but greed, jealousy and ill tidings creep in. A web of double crosses tightens as loyalties fray and the plan grows riskier than anyone anticipated. The tension rides on shadowed rooms and a ticking mood and the danger only grows stronger.

This 1962 crime drama was directed by Raphael J. Sevilla and Myron J. Gold, a collaboration in the era's brisk melodrama style. It foregrounds a high stakes caper wrapped in shifting alliances, shadowed motives and nighttime tension that lingers throughout.
