Quicksand Fans

When I was a small boy ... circa 1970 ... I remember a movie on television wherein a man (Rock Hudson?) falls into a quicksand swamp. A woman uses a donkey (mule? horse?) with a rope to pull him to safety. Later, when he says something about being up to their necks in trouble, she screams, "What do you think I am up to my neck in? Quicksand?!"

I have yet to see anyone else mention this scene and was curious what film it was.

I still remember the woman saying that and thinking, "I wish!"

The following is an entry from Crypto's List version 28, that would match this one pretty well.

Blindfold @
1966 - Rock Hudson, Claudia Cardinale
A brilliant but mentally disturbed scientist is hidden away in a southern swampland by an Army general, fearing that the scientist could jeopardize national security. In one scene, a guy and a shapely brunette are riding a mule in the swamp when the animal suddenly stops. He hops down and begins to lead the mule onward, but he falls into sawdust and water quicksand. He is pulled out with the mule's lead by the woman and the mule. At the end of the movie as the stuttering villain holds a gun on the guy, the hero startles the mule into kicking the villain into some leaf-covered quicksand. He sinks to his chest before the Army in an airboat pulls him out.

Thanks!
