Anyone who calls this plot convoluted never sat through. The Big Sleep, which is rightly considered a classic.
I too showed up for Carol Ohmart, who is so fantastic in The Scarlet Hour and The Wild Party, only to get an intro to VIc Diaz, a delightful character actor among so many in noirs.
Yes, this is a B picture with somewhat bumpy production values. But it's got a propulsive international intrigue plot, some nice street sequences, and.lots of fun, well cast minor characters, as expected in any good noir.
I would give it 15 minutes and if you don't like it drop it.
This one is ripe for rediscovery.
