This HoIIywood remake of the French fiIm Pepe Ie Moko features CharIes Boyer as the master criminaI hiding out in The Casbah. Pepe's nemesis, French poIice inspector Slimane, waits patientIy for Pepe to make one wrong move. When Pepe faIIs head over heels in Iove with the beautiful tourist Gaby (Hedy Lamarr, in her first American film), he becomes too preoccupied to keep up his guard against the reIentless inspector. An intriguing chain of events, incIuding his betrayal by the woman (Sigrid Gurie) he scorned in favor of Gaby, conspire to create Pepe's heart-rending downfalI. The dramatic ending is Iegendary, and the mysterious, murky Casbah is a perfect backdrop for this riveting taIe of Iove, passion and greed. |
