Surprisingly good remake of Pepe Le Moko with crooner Tony Martin giving a good account of himself as the cool, ultra-popular master criminal who enjoys a spurious life of liberty in the maze-like Casbah. Journeyman director John Berry does a good job of creating a sultry, claustrophobic atmosphere, and while the songs are largely unnecessary they don't really slow things down too much.
