Fred MacMurray and Claire Trevor play undercover narcotics agents, working along the Mexican-American border to bust a smuggling ring. For most of the film, neither MacMurray or Trevor are aware that the other is a federal agent, even while posing as a married couple, and the real crook is acutally Raymond Burr (Rear Window). Prior to his Perry Mason role, Burr played some of the vilest, slimiest villains ever seen. In Borderline, he is at his best. The true brilliance of the film is its use of humor that never detracts from the crime thriller elements, thanks to the skills of director William A. Seiter and writer Devery Freeman. Their work and the work of the amazing cast builds up to the exciting climax that borders on the edge of unbelievable.Fred MacMurray and Claire Trevor play undercover narcotics agents, working along the Mexican-American border to bust a smuggling ring.
