For diehard Veronica Lake/Alan Ladd fans. I was expecting a film noir, but it's more of a low-grade romance. Also another poor attempt to replicate _Casablanca_ with an exotic location and a white tuxedo. Despite the great character actors, the film suffers from 1940s sexism and stereotypes. Ultimately it's a lot of talking in a predictable plot.
“The Paris of the Orient!”
After World War II Larry learns that his flying buddy Mike will only live a short time despite the efforts of the doctors. He takes on a profitable flying job for profiteers Maris to finance a good time for his buddy. As the plane takes off he shoves Maris' secretary Susan on board. When Mike falls for her, Larry tells her to play along for Mike's sake. She, of course, falls for Larry.
