Look for some good performances by Michael Rennie as the British inspector, Alexander D'Arcy as a conniving French rogue and Tom Tully as a slimy influence peddler.
Soldier of Fortune has a good cast of character actors. Plus the fact it was done on location as opposed to the backlot of 20th Century Fox. The class of the players make it seem more than it is. Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix is a sequel to the well-known Soldier of Fortune, where we had an opportunity to assume the role of John Mullins and fight against a terrorist group that wanted to detonate nuclear warheads.The game got famous because of its very quick-paced action and numerous scenes of intense violence. Soldier of Fortune isn't a bad film, hardly the worst thing either of them did, but in essence it's really a souped up Grade B adventure saga. I would have hoped that with the one and only teaming of Gable and Hayward a better story could have been found. Gable's more interested in her, but helping the husband's rescue is a package deal. Hayward's in Hong Kong to try and affect a rescue and she comes up against some unscrupulous types including Gable. Hayward's husband Gene Barry is a prisoner of the Chinese government, apparently having taken some pictures he shouldn't have as a freelance photo journalist. Unlike the William Holden- Jennifer Jones epic, Soldier of Fortune leans more to adventure and intrigue than romance. This was the second big epic film they shot in Hong Kong that year, the other being Love Is A Many Splendored Thing. 20th Century Fox did right by him, gave him a film to shoot on location in Hong Kong and an actress who was at the height of her career as a new leading lady in Susan Hayward. Hollywood motion-capture animation by House of Moves adds realism and intensifies the visual impact.Soldier of Fortune marked Clark Gable's first film away from MGM after his contract was not renewed.
