Golden Salamander (1950) Trevor Howard, Anouk Aimee, Herbert Lom

IMDb:6.1

Starring: Trevor Howard, Anouk Aimee, Herbert Lom and Walter Rilla

A man is torn between tackling a sinister crime syndicate or turning a blind eye to the suffering it creates. An archaeologist (Howard) travels to north Africa to retrieve shipwrecked treasures that include a golden salamander. There he stumbles across a network of gun smugglers, and hooks up with the exotic Anna(Aimee) in a seedy atmospheric cafe. Just who is and who isn't part of the network generates some suspense.

Great 1950s movie and I love anything that Trevor Howard and Wildrid Hyde-White are in. I wonder if it's him really playing the piano? It sounds a lot like Charlie Kunz. Tried to track down this particular tune (at the start of movie) but all I could find was the title 'Clopin Clopant'.

Thanks ever so much for uploading!! xx
