1952 Affair in Trinidad Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth VO (1)
Chris Emery works as a nightclub singer and dancer in the British colony of Trinidad and Tobago. One night after her performance she receives news from Inspector Smythe and Anderson, a member of the American consulate, that her husband Neil has been found dead. She is comforted by Neil s friend Max Fabian. Initially, the police conclude that Neil committed suicide based on his gunshot wound and the discovery of a pistol at the crime scene, but on further investigation, they believe that he was murdered. Smythe and Anderson take Chris into confidence and inform her that Neil s boat was seen outside Fabian s property at the time of Neil s murder. Chris learns that Fabian is a crook who has built his fortune by trading information and aiding in treason and that Neil could have been murdered because of his involvement in Fabian s latest project to allow Nazis launch rockets from Trinidad to attack the United States. Chris agrees to exploit Fabian s love for her to gather information
