Forged Passports lead to murder

Like many British B-Pictures of it's time, this was made by Butchers Film Distributors. Running for an hour, like most of these pictures it is a taunt fast-moving story involving a mysterious girl on the run from a passport forger, and, after meeting a film stunt man, who offers to help her, they get involved in further killings, until the villians are bought to book

Good

Good British b movie romp, enjoyable, but could have much better with a more serious score making a superior soundtrack for the film.

Routine programmer

And so Butcher's Films churn out another routine programmer without much in the way to distinguish it from a dozen other, similar productions. MAN FROM TANGIER is a film that spends every penny of its tight budget on exotic locales and a varied cast while at the same time telling the most ordinary subject imaginable. This one hinges on a case of mistaken identity - the identity of a COAT - if you can believe that...

The set-up is that a crook's coat gets mixed up with the coat of an American actor, thus transporting the latter into a world of crime. There are the requisite glamorous women and double crosses, and a few action scenes dotted here and there, but this is never more than a very typical, very ordinary, would be thriller.

Man from Tangier review

Messy low-budget effort from low-rent British outfit Butcher which starts out quite brightly but quickly gets bogged down by confusing plot developments. With his car salesman's 'tache, Robert Hutton looks far too cheesy to be a hero.

Death in Bloomsbury

The Old Bill as usual are always several steps behind the criminal activities of a bunch of smooth foreign crooks described as 'Passport Racketeers' (today they would be called people traffickers) in this typically slick late fifties Lance Comfort potboiler.

Talky but good-looking (both indoors and in and around a wintry-looking London in the days when one could park straight away on a whim) thanks to his veteran cameraman Basil Emmott and to cool blonde Lisa Gastoni as the female lead. The one liability is the usual noisy score by Wilfred Burns.

Anecdotes
The print of the film used by Talking Pictures TV is partly a German version; the dialogue is all in English but when a newspaper is shown, a German translation of the headline is shown as a superimposed title.

Gaffes
When Armstrong leaves his case at Victoria luggage office there is a member of the film crew warning away two elderly ladies who were about to approach the luggage counter where they were filming.
