For diehard Veronica Lake/Alan Ladd fans. I was expecting a film noir, but it's more of a low-grade romance. Also another poor attempt to replicate _Casablanca_ with an exotic location and a white tuxedo. Despite the great character actors, the film suffers from 1940s sexism and stereotypes. Ultimately it's a lot of talking in a predictable plot.
