Slight Affair October 2, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The reteaming of "Gilda" stars Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth in the 1951 production "Affair In Trinidad" had Columbia Pictures executives having high hopes of achieving something nearing the same success as their 1946 enduring classic. But James Gunn and Oscar Saul's screenplay failed to reach the mark and the picture turned out to be just another average Noir.
Nevertheless it did have some things going for it and not least a sizzling performance from the beautiful Rita Hayworth as a nightclub performer. The stunning Hayworth just gnaws at the scenery throughout and setting hearts a racing with her inimitable renditions of a couple of songs which in her hands simply sparkle. Vincent Sherman does a reasonable job in the director's chair and the glorious black and white cinematography by Joseph Walker is as sharp as a button.The excellent DVD transfer is particularly enriched with well defined imagery.
Glenn Ford is his usual laconic, sullen and truculent self as Steve Emery
who arrives in Trinidad only to learn that his brother has comitted suicide. Refusing to accept the suicide claim he sets out to prove
otherwise. Determined to get to the bottom of what happened to his
sibling and with the help of his brother's widow (Hayworth) he exposes
the truth resulting in an action filled finale.
The picture is well held together by a good supporting cast such as
Valerie Bettis, Torin Thatcher as the police chief and especially Alexander Scourby as the smooth and charming baddie. His role looking like a dry run for his smooth and charming racketeer in Ford's
cop classic "The Big Heat" two years later.
Not too bad a movie really and I can think of worse ways to spend 94 minutes. But there are no extras, not even a trailer which, to put it
mildly, is nothing short of reprehensible.
