Deresco, the proprietor of a thriving nightclub situated in neutral Portugal, operates as a freelance spy, offering his services to the highest bidder. Tasked with extracting information from the US agent John Craig, Deresco enlists the assistance of Maritza, a talented immigrant dancer. However, unbeknownst to Deresco, Maritza finds herself falling deeply in love with Craig, which complicates their professional dealings. As Craig becomes an esteemed guest at Deresco's captivating casino, the lines blur, and suspicions arise regarding the true identity and political motivations of the individuals populating the establishment. In a place where trust is scarce, secrets abound, and discerning friend from foe becomes an ultimate challenge.

“Give me something like that Casablanca movie. But don’t overthink it, we start shooting on Thursday.”
One of the best movie reviews ever written. This movie has more cheese than Wisconsin. The acting was as stiff as the waiter’s collar. Very disappointing.
They over thought
Really enjoyed this film. The elaborate club was interesting as well as Deresco and Mariska. Richard Arlen was an established actor with many film credits during 1921 to 1976, including the 1927 "Wings" was won the Academy Award. I'm a little surprised at the number of critical comments. Looking forward to more of your posts. Thank you!😊
Poor man's Casablanca. 😁
But I always love seeing Stroheim!!
Eric von Stroheim had a magnificent old world aristocratic quality about him.
Excellent!
Leading lady femme fatale Vera Ralston was an escapee from Czechoslovakia in WWII. (Another wee point in common with Casablanca: real refugees in the cast.) Hard to believe she was mostly cast in flops. She's magnif here. Much darker w/less hope than Casablanca. But well made, strong cast, good story.
Released in October 1944. Vera Ralston really was Czech and a figure skater. Bogart would have been great in this movie. He probably could not do a film with Republic. In an interesting twist of fate, the screenwriter's son, who was born only a few months before this film was released, later co-wrote the hit song "Love Child" for the Supremes.
Even if subdued, love that Vera Ralston ❤️❤️❤️
A Richard Arlen I hadn't seen ❤❤. Good story.
This is an interesting flick: with no one particularly famous it tells an unpredictable story that concludes with an almost surprise ending.
Don't let Erich von Stroheim here you say that!
Richard Arlen won an Oscar in '27. And Vera Hruba Ralston was HOT !
Good story . Amazing sets ! Thanks for posting.
@26:41 the music becomes Borodin's, "Polovetsian Dances" from 'Prince Igor', better known as the melody for "Strangers in Paradise".
Yes, and one of the oddest juxtapositions of music and "dance" in a WWII film ever. Also, Daresco must have employed half of Lisbon what with the musicians, chorus, dancers, tough guys, and stooges. Oh, and house cleaners.
I love Erich Von Stroheim. He has an interesting story. I enjoyed him in The Great Gabo, The Merry Wives and Sunset Blvd.
Agree!
HHhH So do I!
Fabulous! A similar genre to Cassblanca! Thank you 😊
In a screwy way that ending was Casablanca in reverse.
Thank you for the great movie.
❤
Loe these vintage movies thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Good flick. For a stiff Maritza could dance. I remember seeing the bald lead crook in a movie with Dan Durya he had the same character. Tku for post.
all elbows. lol
@@HollyBluePlanet And some swaying hips. Not a great dancer but she could express her sexuality with limited movement.
Really Intense film. Superb Actors played out convincingly for an A+ Suspence Spy Movie.
Thanks for sharing
How bout the dance the actress did?
Plenty of parallels with CASABLANCA, all the way to the end. Ralston is a bit stiff, but some of that can be attributed to her fairly recent entrance to the US. According to IMDB, the bandleader is Kirk Alyn, better known as Superman in the serials. He had a long career, mostly in uncredited roles, and died in The Woodlands just outside of Houston. One of the checkroom girls in Ruth Roman - SOL was one of her earliest screen appearances.
GOOD MOVIE GOOD PRINT THANK YOU.
...And as always, the closed captions are laugh-out-loud funny!
I was sure the music Maritza danced to was Strangers in Paradise. Yet google says it was written until '50's😮?
It IS "Stranger In Paradise".....it was also used in the All-Black stage- version called "Timbuktu" at the "Orpheum" theater in San Francisco, CA. 😊
The confusion comes from the song being based on the earlier "Alexander Borodin" melody 🎶 "Gliding Dance Of The Maidens " from the "Polovtsian Dances" in the Opera "Prince Igor" (1890). Most of the songs/music from the movie were adapted from Borodin (1833-1887). Other artists later released their version of "Stranger In Paradise "......like one of my favorites.......the incomparable "Tony Bennet". 😊
@@leilal8053 thanks so much. We all know Tony Bennett version ♥️
@@jacobnazarian1147 I gave the detailed explanation of the origins of the 🎶 music. Looks like she was confused by the contradictory info she read 📖 on Google. Once again....both movies dplu canbalized an older 🎶 melody. The musical addes lyrics to, and this one, just the melody.....but the choreography is more true to the opera.....the "Dancing maidens"....
I am not familiar with the music and movies from the 50s.
The song Stranger in Paradise from the Broadway show Kismet dates from the early 1950s. However, the music was written by the Russian composer Alexander Borodin in the 1880s or so. It’s from a movement from Borodin’s String Quartet.
This is a GOOD film!
Vera Ralston incorporates the hula in her dance. Lovely women. Not sure why the two old ladies are in the movie--oh yea--comic relief. Corny ending..BUT I loved all the pageantry!
yeah. They could have been written better as spies.
Loved the two old biddies right from the beginning. And now that I'm an old biddy myself, I'm inclined to think of them as the stars of the film with more story to tell than was written for them - a sort of Charters and Caldecott spin-off potential.
Of course I see parallels to Casablanca, but good stories often show parallels to each other. A big difference is that in Casablanca there was no question who the bad guys were, who the good guys were, and who were pawns in the middle. This film kept me guessing, especially as to whether Deresco was an out-&-out villain, an opportunist, or a double-, triple-, who-knows maverick agent. Maybe I'm naive, but I felt there was just enough complexity in his actions to leave me guessing right up to the very end.
To me the main structural difference between this film and Casablanca is that in Casablanca there are no small parts. Every character from the beginning is portrayed as though the rest of their personal story is worth a novel. This is not to say that Storm over Lisbon couldn't deliver. Not every story is told to have a window into the lives of the "little man," and I don't think it's necessary to every story told.
Thanks for airing this film!
👍👍👍👍👍
I read the comments before I saw the movie, so I'm here for the dance scene, and it did not disappoint. It was hilarious. I had a good, hard laugh. Boy, did I need that laugh after the week I had.
New sub. Thanks for an interesting movie!
Thank you,
Very enjoyable
GOD BLESS you Thank you
Not a poor man's Casabalnca, but interesting in its own way.
Just reached my table at the .... Monte Carlo better than that !! at !! ... We two ladies of yore
Some very good actors. The Hollywood and Poverty Row brass were not exactly high quality people sometimes, Eh ? Let's Not Sanitise That .
People always used to die so very quickly after a single gunshot from a pistol. It was much cleaner and could quickly closed a plot line.
Plus, no matter where the person got shot, he never bled.
Well it ain't no Casablanca and that's not even close to a real Humphrey Bogart! Indeed parting is such sweet sorrow~ ss😎👌🐾
2725: song is ‘stranger in Paradise’.
Bowdlerized from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances from "Prince Igor".
Richard Arlen (on-the-run John Craig) is the leading man who looks too much like Robert Livingston (pilot Bill Flanagan). such confusion is part of B-movie charm.
52:50 starts a dizzying series of cuts, pan, dissolve, mirror image, zoom that qualifies as movie magic. it ends with this exchange:
Maritza: It won't be to his advantage to treat me as a prisoner.
Evelyn: I don't know. Why are you different from anyone else.
supporting cast Mona Barrie as the bitter hostess (1:03:25), Eduardo Ciannelli as the evil amanuensis of scuzzy Eric Von Stroheim, Otto Kruger as the stooge.
Casablanca...minus the plot, screenplay, cast, and the camera work. 🙂
That's not all bad. No wooden acting by Ingrid Bergman is a _big_ plus in my book . . .
Nothing with Erich von Stroheim in it is a complete waste of time.
Did someone mention "Casablanca"? One of my all time favorite movies? How can we get YT to post it free with ads?
it's the budget, Silly. this is a B movie, everything is cutrate. BUT that doesn't mean they don't have something to say. as the B-side of Casablanca, this has a nice sordid quality. the editing is still creative, covering up what they couldn't shoot.
True.
It's ok but Vera Rolston's hesitation when she speaks drove me nuts.
Pan American Clipper ~ Lisboa✈️
Excellent movie.....if with a somewhat"less than handsome" leading-man.....
You need to see Marx bros ' a night in Casablanca " to restore your faith in humanity
The Clipper, jolting joe DiMaggio, dislike of ken keltner
She really couldn't act all that well, could she?
Short on looks too!
No, Vera Ralston was no Sonja Henie.
1944
Vera Ralston 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Managed to avoid this one until today
28:20 I THINK THE MUSIC IS "A STRANGER IN PARADISE."
❤🌹❤🍀❤🐴❤😇❤🤗
Slow 🥱
waste of time...
This film started about boring, petered out a bit in the middle, and the least said about the rest of it the bettr...very boring!
Rate 5.6
Mystery Thriller
a unique combination of Dumb and weird
Reminds me of a " version" of " Casablanca," toward the end.
Lisbon Portugal with Italian music and guitar, Italian cuisine and the only 2 things correct is cabo ruivo clippers Airport and capital name 😂😂😂. Shame... Shame...
Portuguese music does use the guitar, but it should be a Portuguese guitar, not a mandolin. Not many people would spot the difference. But yes, agreed, it's pretty ridiculous. I guess they set it in Lisbon because it was known to be a hotbed of spies. Accuracy wasn't important in movies from those days. I gave up after five minutes.
@@bertspeggly4428I hope u saw the dance lol
25:00 “exotic dance” fell flat ! 😢😔
An Empty Burger, “where’s the Beef” ??
1:48 "I am Miss Peritonitis" ?
Maritza is no Ginger Rodgers.. Not very impressed with any of the dance choreography..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣She was all they could find at short notice😇😂
Blonde is a stifff actress, very wooden. Must know producer
And you mean ... KNOW!!
Like in the Bible!!
@@stutzbearcat5624 Ha Ha. I like that. Yes...with out doubt.... that could explain a lot.
Vera Hruba Ralston caught the eye of Republic Studios head Herbert J. Yates. In 1952, they were married. Herbert kept putting Vera in picture after picture even though she was not a very good actress and hard to understand with her thick Czech accent. Vera and Herbert were married until Yates died in 1966. He also had Vera's brother Rudy Ralston on board as a producer. The Republic Pictures story is very interesting!
@@mrBILL-sr2cu excellent intuitive deduction from the fatso from crary school in Detroit I would say, what?
@@mrBILL-sr2cu what are the 39 steps?
That has to be the most over produced crappy movie of its time
Interesting ripoff of Casablanca starring Erich von Stroheim and Vera Hruba Ralston, the latter promoted as a leading lady, but her Czech accent was too heavy. Plus she was a rightwing Republican, though that wasn't quite the same thing back then as now.
Well, as she was born a Czech, I'm not sure that you are in a position to question her accent, are you?
It's not me, it's the audience; i.e. the reason she wasn't a successful leading lady per numerous sources. I personally like her accent (but not her rightwing politics).
"Plus she was a rightwing Republican, though that wasn't quite the same thing back then as now."
Relevance?
@@SBCBears The relevance is that lefties cannot resist the temptation to slander, insult, and heap hatred upon any conservative person, from any time period, from any country, and for any reason at all - no matter how objectively irrelevant and out of place. But perhaps Vera Hruba Ralston decided to become a "rightwing" Republican because she knew first hand of the brutality and murderousness of left-wing socialist regimes.
Storm Over Lisbon - out of Republic Studios in 1944... Vera Hruba Ralston married Republic Studio owner Herbert J. Yates in 1952. He continued to place her in Republic productions through 1958 (closed up in 1959) despite criticism from the critics, movie goers, and Republic royalty such as John Wayne. In this film, director George Sherman cleverly had her turn away from the camera at times (48:30) when emotion was called for and her face seemed frozen in fear. I love Republic and its history. I actually like this movie, with all its shortcomings, more than Casablanca...
The dancing (ouch!) might be better on ice. Should have given her back her skates.
This is the worst and most funny depiction of Portugal and Lisbon I ever seen in a movie. It’s like Portugal is some place in Italy , where super Mario caricatures either fat or with mustaches play the traditional Portuguese song “ meninos vamos ao vira “ but in mandolins ?!!?😂 seriously?! Mandolins?! Where’s “Fado”, where’s the Portuguese guitar ?!
The only thing real about Lisbon depiction here is the establishing stock footage.
Nevertheless this is a really peculiar movie I had no idea it existed!!
I,love Casablanca and this feel like a cheap imitation but where you don’t care about the characters, there’s some really ridiculous characterizations and the leading lady is no Ingrid Bergman for sure as her performance almost ruins the movie when she’s on screen. And that dance routine …wow…what was that?! 😂
Nevertheless the noir mood is great, some great visual moments and overal a really curious movie. Well worth the time.
Just don’t think this depicts a 1944 Portugal at all, because as a Portuguese I find it really fun as this movie misses every mark. Someone didn’t do the research because it would be really easy to create a genuine Portuguese mood. The fact they didn’t included the Portuguese music “Fado” in Lisbon of all cities and they added mandolins instead of fado Portuguese guitars takes this movie into some sort of parallel universe where all Portuguese look like a caricature of rural Italians or some sort of Bolivians or something. 😂
But I loved the movie.
Lisbon never looked like that. What a mess.
Low budget Casablanca
The worst solo choreography in film I think I've ever seen. Not helped by the fact the "dancer" doesn't know how to spot 😓
I did enjoy the movie though thanks for uploading
@@MsKilala aare you an expert ?
@@2ni2808 professional dancer, teacher, choreographer and director for 35 years so the answer is probably yes 🙏
No one ever bleeds when their shot in old hollywood movies. Saved alot on the cleanup bills I guess. Pretty funky flick with mr thickneck dr evil but in 1944 moviegoers needed a quick dose of patriotic inspiration after 3 years of hell in Europe and Asia wondering if tyranny would win.
Why did'nt she end up with her man ??????????????????????? Dear LORD so much bloomin sadness WHY ????
Boring.
Nobody got the girl
1944
