Tampico (1944)

Set during WWII. When an oil tanker captain (Edward G. Robinson) rescues the survivors of a torpedoed passenger ship, he finds himself attracted to one of the survivors (Lynn Bari). They rush into marriage but when his ship sinks under suspicious circumstances, he must face the fact that his wife may be a German spy! Directed by Lothar Mendes (THE MAN WHO COULD WORK MIRACLES). A surprisingly decent war drama that's refreshingly free of the usual propaganda aspects that were infused into so many war movies made during WWII. One doesn't ordinarily think of Robinson as a romantic leading man but he and Lynn Bari make for a believable romantic couple. Parts of the movie are similar to the 2016 Robert Zemeckis film ALLIED though this has a happier conclusion. The score is by David Raksin (LAURA). With Victor McLaglen, Marc Lawrence and Mona Maris.
