Just seeing a top billed Adele Jergens gives you an idea of what you are going to get. A dependable second lead and "B" star, this Lana Turner look-a- like was better than Lana at delivering sarcastic comments and had a deadly femme fatal look about her that MGM's "lady" didn't. She's got a Jane Greer voice too, and that makes for a great vixen. By accident here, her character ends up in a theft of gold and a murder, and along with a string of unremarkable male co-stars finds herself in danger at every turn.
More worth mentioning is Donna Martell playing the type of role that Myrna Loy played in the late 1920's/early 1930's and that Rita Moreno played throughout the 1950's. It's relatively entertaining but often bizarre and convoluted. What this has in Jergens' wisecracks and sense of style, it lacks in fun character performances. Still worth a go for the post war international intrigue, even if it doesn't really strike any real cords of thrills and spark.
