Not really very coherent, but mildly interesting would-be noir thriller, set in Algiers. Apparently some of the film was actually filmed there, but mostly this was limited to the airport and a few night shots in the city. The rest is pretty well bound to the sound stage. George Raft gets the girl. Big surpise (not).
this is true to fact american classic cinema , I loved the movie; this is classy cinema.
