The Woman Goes To Tangier And Gets Stuck

A ship puts into Tangier, and Adele Jergens gets off for a bit of sightseeing. She doesn't know she's going to be stuck there when the ship's captain steals 50,000 pounds from the safe, shoots the purser and blames it on him. Police Prefect Robert Tafur is inclined to shrug, but Stephen Dunne is the local representative of the the insurance company who will have to make good on the loss, so he pursues the case, and Miss Jurgens, too.

It's a decent Columbia programmer, if a little rushed. It was director Harold Daniels' first feature and he probably felt pressed to come in under budget, and it's clearly cheaply shot, mostly on sets with conversations in alternate takes. Miss Jurgens is quite a looker, and seems to have seen this leading role as her biggest chance since she went on for Gypsy Rose Lee, and she's quite good in a not-such-a-good-girl role. Even so, her roles ended up on the cutting room floor. She took some time off after her first child, then mostly appeared on TV on comedy shows. SHe died at age 84 in 2002.
