For the past two years, French jewel thief Pepe Le Moko has lived in, and ruled the mazelike, impenetrable Casbah, "native quarter" of Algiers. A French official insists that he be captured, but sly Inspector Slimane knows he will reveal himself in time because the Pepe increasingly regards his stronghold as also his prison. When he meets beautiful Parisian visitor Gaby, it arouses the mad jealousy of his Algerian Mistress Ines.
Is 'Casbah Drama' a whole genre of film that's been overlooked and perhaps forgotten?
The upshot is the Frogs finally took a hint and left Algeria. The bad news is
that they left the country
in charge of the Algerians.

Hedy Lamarr's best film. The scene where they hold the dead man's gun hand so he can shoot the bad guy was copied in the movie "Cutter's Way" with Jeff Bridges around 1977.
