Not as good as Casablanca but still entertaining, Hedy Lamarr is fantastically beautiful almost otherworldly and plays her part well with a sort of wounded sadness.
Solid '30's melodrama with exotic locales, distinct characters, and two appealing leads. Not the best I've seen, but if it can inspire both "Casablanca" and Pepe le Pew, more power to it.
If you think Hollywood remakes are a recent trend, think again: This is the remake of French classic Pepe Le Moko. Jean Gabin's part is played by Charles Boyer and his fatal attraction is played by Hedy Lamarr in her first US movie. Good, entertaining classic.
