SIROCCO (Dir: Curtis Bernhardt, 1951).
A romantic melodrama/crime thriller in the mold of Casablanca (Michael Curtis, 1942).
In 1925 Damascus, ex-patriot American Harry Smith (Humphrey Bogart) is mixed up in gunrunning for the Syrian rebels who oppose the French occupation. Wishing to flee the country he strikes up negotiations with Colonel Feroud (Lee J Cobb) to ensure safe passage. Things get complicated Smith embarks upon a relationship with the colonel's ambivalent mistress Violetta (Marta Toren). The odd twist in the tale enlivens the otherwise routine thrills.
