Two newsreel reporters doing an outdoor fashion shoot accidentally film a
Nazi criminal. The Nazi is aided by clever Joe the gangster (an ex-actor gone bad!)
who uses a variety of methods to retrieve the film before it is used to identify the Nazi.
Ironically, if left unpursued, the film would have been destroyed. A few predictable but
well-placed plot twists and double-crosses round out the film.
One is left wondering how Joe would know to employ a romantic couple to run
interference for the Nazi as he exited a bank. Joe also surprises by hamming it up
with drunken nostalgia for his acting days, and whipping people with his belt.

Grade B or C movie, with some good supporting actors, real city locations and a
competent chase sequence aboard a ferry. Unfortunately actor Alan Baxter, perhaps
best known as the spy in SABOTEUR(1942) who wistfully recalls having long blonde
curls in childhood, is merely adequate as the girl-chasing reporter who gets mixed
up with the Nazi and gangsters. He is occasionally accompanied by his cameraman
partner and comic relief (Joey Faye doing a budget Lou Costello), who is slightly
amusing. Slinky makes a cameo appearance with Joey for an absurd gag, and Joey
also gets the last laugh in a silly end shot. Some Comic Relief insurance was added
(in case Joey wasnt enough) with Sid Melton in a borderline comical scene.
Nice soundtrack score but doesnt always compliment what’s on the screen.
Alpha Video dvd source – sometimes audio is muffled and video skips a few frames.

Rosa (Virna Lisi), Vic (Tony Franciosa) and their boat captain (Alf Kjellin) are searching for sunken treasure. They hire Mark (Frank Sinatra) as their diver and begin their treasure hunt. Mark soon spots a long-buried German U-boat, and the plan to search for gold quickly turns into a scheme to use the submarine to rob the HMS Queen Mary. After enlisting the help of a mechanic (Richard Conte), the foursome set their plan in motion while Vic and Mark battle for Rosa’s affections.
