Ray Milland's debut as director wasn't so bad, he plays Robert John Evans an American smuggler based at Lisbon, living an easy fancy life at Orca, his fastest boat, suddenly appears a profitable offers from a Greek scoundrel Aristides Marvos (Claude Rains) to bring a package from someone at Lisbon's Hotel, there he meets the beauty Sylvia Merrill (Maureen O'Hara) a wife of a American millionaire who was kidnapped by the reds, Marvos intent to bring home his husband for mere 250.000 dollars, safe and sound, Robert will be the bait to mislead the Portuguese policy and also takes the old Merryll in his boat, mixing romance, betrayal, international kidnapping among others elements, this picture is holds in a specific and splendid character Marvos, a soft spoken on black humor, scheming man, cruel and cold, profound connoisseur of human nature and finally the gorgeous Yvonne Fourneaux as Maria, shot on most famous and beautiful Lisbon's touristic spots!!!
