Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Dalbert Pringle And, the question is - Who killed "nice guy" Neal Emery, and why?... Well - As the story goes in "Affair In Trinidad" - The answer to Neal's untimely murder is a seriously complicated matter (as you'll soon find out).IMO - This 1952 "Rita Hayworth" come-back film was certainly better than I had thought it would be. But, it was certainly not "Film Noir" as it has been erroneously categorized.Back in 1952 the movie-going public literally flocked in droves to see this b&w crime/drama (which was shot entirely on sets in the USA at Columbia Studios).You see - Glamour girl, Rita Hayworth had been away from starring in pictures for 4 years. During that time of absence she had been married to Prince Aly Khan.To say that their royal, fairy-tale marriage was a messy affair would truly be an understatement - As it ended in accusations (by Hayworth) of cruelty and abuse. (Oh-me! Oh-my!)"Affair In Trinidad" was produced on a $1 million budget. It made back 7 times that amount in its first year of release.

big_O_Other I found it odd that reviewers, and the plot summary, center on Glenn Ford coming to investigate his brother's murder.The plot does not actually center on this, since Ford comes a bit late into the film. Moreover, he is skeptical that his brother committed suicide, but murder is not established until later in the film. The spotlight is really on Rita Hayworth, who plays the role very well, being both good at being the cabaret singer-dancer that she is, and a straightforward and caring person hoping to help the British authorities bring justice to the case. It is, as barely noted, actually a spy thriller! And it is very well done, given that one cannot actually discern if the spies are committed Nazis or some kind of eastern Europeans--in other words, as distinct from other cold war era films it doesn't go after the Russians as well it might have.

edwagreen Above average film starring Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth once more.In this one, Ford comes to Trinidad just in time to learn that his brother as supposedly committed suicide and meets Hayworth, the widow.Hayworth is fascinating in the role and an absolute joy to watch. She can do some really heavy duty acting here and then break into a wonderful song and dance routine. Both her singing and dancing are up to par here as well as a wonderful plot involving spies. Hayworth has been asked by the government to infiltrate the ring and it appears that she is very much against her brother-in-law in an attempt to shield him from apparent danger.Alexander Scourby is excellent in the villain role.

Robert Gold It's ironic that Rita's 1952 return to the screen was shot in black and white when her film in 1948 "The Loves of Carmen" was filmed in color. For her comeback film, you would have thought Harry Cohn would have given everything to the film to make it appealing: Rita, Glenn Ford, a similar film to "Gilda" in plot and style, and some songs (dubbed as usual) and dances for Rita.It's an okay film, but it's a bit unbelievable in spots. For example, Rita is trying to sneak around late at night in someone's house to uncover information while she is wearing her high heeled shoes. Wouldn't she have taken the shoes off to avoid making a sound so as not to be heard? She danced barefoot in one number, so it's not like the studio didn't want to show her shoeless. Another thing is how can her brother in law fall madly in love with her after a mere three days after discovering his brother has died? I enjoyed it, but to appreciate Hayworth's talent, there are better movies to see. Ironically, this movie made much more money than "Gilda" did!
