[In a bar at the airport in Cairo, Charles Stark can be seen entering. Upon noticing a particular individual who is reading a newspaper, Stark approaches and sits down next to him. This is Mike Canelli]
Agent Charles Stark: Well, well.
[Canelli looks up.]
Agent Charles Stark: From New Orleans, Louisiana to the airport bar in Cairo, Egypt is a long way, even for a guy like Mike Canelli.
Mike Canelli: [smiles and folds his newspaper] Just like somebody said, it's a small world. Hello Charlie.
[Canelli and Stark shake hands.]
Agent Charles Stark: [returns the handshake] What are you doing in Cairo, Mike?
Mike Canelli: Oh, just a twenty minute stopover on my flight west.
Agent Charles Stark: It's been four years since I last saw you back home. What brings you all the way over here?
Mike Canelli: [puts his newspaper on the counter] Knocking around, having fun, trying to stay out of trouble.
Agent Charles Stark: [laughs] That I want to see. Where there's trouble, you'll find Mike Canelli.
Mike Canelli: What's your excuse for being here, Charlie?
Agent Charles Stark: Sorry, Mike, I'm on a confidential assignment, heading for Saudi Arabia.
Mike Canelli: [with interest] Sounds mysterious. But you always did go in for that cloak and dagger stuff.
Agent Charles Stark: Where are you bound for now, Mike?
[an intercom can be heard announcing a flight to Algiers, which is planning to leave soon.]
Mike Canelli: That's me, Charlie. I'm heading for my old stomping grounds, Algiers for a visit.
Agent Charles Stark: Look, Mike, I'm coming there myself in a couple of weeks. Forget I mentioned I'm on a job, will you? If we run into each other, we're strangers, okay?
Mike Canelli: Sure, Charlie? What do you got in Algiers?
Agent Charles Stark: Maybe nothing but a long dull tail job on a guy with a four-fingered right hand.
Mike Canelli: [nods and taps him with his newspaper] I'll be seeing you.
[Stark watches as Canelli turns to leave the bar]
In his last starring role (and Ray Enright's last movie as director), Raft finds himself irresistible to women, and bluffing his way through a murky situation. It's an interesting plot, and Raft's diffident performance matches that of his ill-defined character; the fact that it's never clear why he's in Algiers made me suspect early on that he was involved in more than a Wrong Man sort of way. This Hitchcockian tale has a lot to recommend it, but the short budget keeps it from being superior.
