Singapore (1947 John Brahm)

An exotic city, a gal, a bag of pearls, and a bad guy who wants them. Solid film is unexceptional but Fred MacMurray, Ava Gardner, Roland Culver, Richard Haydn, Spring Byington and Porter Hall (recognisable to us from Preston Sturges) are always watchable. With Thomas Gomez and George Lloyd as baddies.

From prolific writer Seton Miller for Universal. Shot by Maury Gertsman (showing off well in the French import DVD), rather fine music from Lassie's Daniele Amfithetrof, and edited by William Hornbeck.
