A Lady Without Passport Page #3

Synopsis: There is a problem with foreign nationals using Cuba as a convenient jumping off point for illegal entry into the United States. So U.S. Immigration Service Agent Peter Karczag (John Hodiak) is sent to Havana posing as a Hungarian frustrated with the legal immigration process and open to an alternative. By this means he uncovers the human smuggling ring run by Palinov (George Macready). He also meets concentration-camp refugee Marianne Lorress (Hedy Lamarr), a Viennese working in a nightclub and one who has paid to be smuggled into the United States. When Karczag falls in love with her, he becomes conflicted, not wanting her to be among those he plans to have captured in his operation. So he tries to persuade her to stay in Cuba instead of being secretly flown to the United States. Will he succeed? What if his cover is blown?

such orgies

of the gourmet.

Do you remember the story

about the visiting princess?

I can't say

that i do.

This you must hear.

You will forgive me,

miss lorress.

This i must tell seor

palinov in private.

I waste my time telling

a smart man like yourself,

but never trust

a beautiful woman.

I trust everyone.

As you wish,

but she lied to you.

Are you sure?

Of course

i'm sure.

There was never a mayor

lorress in budapest.

Good day, miss lorress.

He says that you deliberately

knocked down his fruit.

Is that right?

Nothing of the sort.

The man is insane.

He's a fool.

Stupid fool.

The gentleman was not

familiar with the cuban laws.

He will pay you

for the damage.

I don't sell nothing

but the best fruit, seor.

None of it ruined.

Will this

take care of it?

Oh, s, seor.

Muchas gracias.

Gracias, mi capitn.

An expensive method, seor,

to get rid of a pursuer.

Well, i didn't think it

was a good idea for him

to see me walk into

the police station

or to know that i was

trying to shake him.

A made a good contact with palinov,

but i can't count

on that alone.

Pues, no. You people have an expression.

A cat can be skinned

9 different ways.

That's right, but

i've got to have a lead

to this bunch

of immigrants

he's going to

smuggle in.

That thought,

it occurred to us, too.

They might have objected to

having their pictures taken.

You may wish

to send these on

to the united states,

seor.

It will make

identification easier

should they enter

your country.

You've been a great help, lieutenant.

I think i've got

myself a lead.

Good evening.

Is miss lorress in?

If she is, she must have

squeezed through the keyhole.

But i wish

to see her.

Maybe if she had

distinguished callers like you,

she would not have

been locked out.

You see, no money,

no room.

You know where

she went?

I'd try the street

of the cafes.

Go fast, go fast.

A beautiful girl don't remain on her own

very long in havana.

For me?

For you.

Oh, merci beaucoup.

Ce, c'est

trs gentil.

Mister,

i'm a guide.

You want

a guide?

You need a guide

here in havana.

Anyplace

you want to go.

I can show you all the places in havana.

You can't

walk around

without a guide

in this town.

You know,

i can show you.

No matter where

you want to go,

i can show you

anyplace.

Anyplace

you want to go.

All the beautiful places in havana.

Mister,

let me show you.

Some other time.

Some other time.

Take your hands

off the seorita.

She's under arrest.

Yes, only the police has

the right to paw me.

She's in my costume.

It is mine.

She must remove it.

You'll appear

tomorrow on charges.

What are

my charges?

Come along.
