Forbidden Passage

Directed by Fred Zinnemann

With Addison Richards, Wolfgang Zilzer, Hugh Beaumont, George Lessey and George Cleveland

This MGM Crime Does Not Pay series short looks at the U.S. Department of Immigration's efforts to halt the smuggling of illegal aliens into the country. Desperate immigrants, tired of waiting for legal entry, pay exorbitant fees and risk a grisly death to enter by illegal means.
