ALGIERS (I938-U5A)- With CHARLES BOYER, HEDY LAMARR. Where blazing desert meets the blue Mediterranean and modern Europe jostles ancient Africa, a stone’s throw from the modern city, the native quarter, known as the Casbah, stands like a fortress above the sea. It’s population includes tribes and races, drifters and outcasts from all parts Of the worldÉand criminals who find this a safe hiding place from the long arm Of the law. Supreme on these heights rules one man…Pepe Le Moko… long wanted by the French Police.” Beyer’s greatest role, the romance about the beautiful woman from Paris who falls under the spell Of the ‘King Of the Thieves.” 92 minutes Drama
