ALGIERS(1938)
A lot of similarities between this and the great
movie Casablanca!! While not quite as good, still
excellent! The cruxt is that there's a criminal
living in what's called "The Casbah"(along with
hundreds of others) and the French police are out
after him! A
A review from IMDb.com:
Algiers is stunning film on many different levels
that carries an unusual originality for the time
period. The romantic chemistry between Hedy Lamarr
(Gaby) Charles Boyer(Pepe)is perhaps one of the
movie's most fascinating and unusual aspects.
But what really makes things shine is the brilliant
black and white cinematography of James Wong Howe.
There are also many different one liners and camera
shots in this film that have become famous over
the years and it's fun just looking for things
that you've heard or seen before. I'm not sure
how much Warner Brother's cartoons based their
stinky skunk (Pepe le Pew) on Charles Boyer's
character Pepe le Moko but there has be some
correlation.
Anyway, Algiers is a grand piece of entertainment
well worth the watching. - davidjaussi
