Contraband Spain (1955)

After his brother (Philip Saville) is murdered on the border of Spain and France, a U.S. Treasury agent (Richard Greene) goes to Spain to not only find out who killed his brother but to expose the counterfeit and smuggling ring his brother was involved with. Written and directed by Lawrence Huntington, this dull example of international intrigue is pretty flat. Shot in Eastman color, the Spanish locations (Barcelona) are attractive but it's little compensation for the tedium. Anouk Aimee as the romantic interest is relegated to eye candy but she'd have to wait until the 1960s and Fellini and Jacques Demy to rescue her from drivel such as this. Christopher Lee does the narration. With Michael Denison and Jose Nieto.
