Jeopardy is a 1953 American crime drama directed by John Sturges. The black-and-white film stars Barbara Stanwyck and Barry Sullivan as a married couple, and Ralph Meeker as an escaped convict. The film was based on the 22-minute radio play "A Question of Time".[4]

Award-winning cinematographer Victor Milner, in addition to photographing the film, has a bit part in the movie.

A portion of the film was shot in Pioneertown, and features footage of the "cantina" building that now houses Pappy & Harriet's.[5]
