Devil At 4 O’Clock (1961, U.S.A.)

A Criminal and a priest team up in a suspense-filled adventure. Spencer Tracy teams up with Frank Sinatra in an action-packed drama set in the South Pacific. A seaplane lands on the island of Talua to unload three criminals – including Harry (Frank Sinatra) – plus a young priest, Father Perreau (Kerwin Matthews), who has come to succeed aging, irascible Father Doonan (Spencer Tracy). When an earthquake and volcanic eruption strike Talua, Father Doonan persuades Harry to parachute with him into the mountains on a daring rescue mission to an isolated hospital. The party – mostly children – is menaced by landslides, forest fires, flowing lava and a near-collapsed footbridge as they make their perilous way to safety. Tracy and Sinatra are in peak form as the unlikely heroes of this suspense-filled adventure.
