Review of A Lady Without Passport (1950) by Allan C — 09 Aug 2014
Joseph H. Lewis directed this solid little noir about Hedy Lamarr trying to leave Cuba. Lamarr finds herself being used as bait by federal agents trying to break a smuggling ring, but the man using her, of course, begins to fall for the beautiful Lamarr.
It's a somewhat stodgy melodrama, but Lamarr is always a treat to watch and Lewis brings enough style to hold your interest. George Macready has a supporting role and this film was also the film debut of Steven Hill (that Law & Order) who I had no idea had been acting that long.
David Raksin provided a a fine score for the film.
