Macao

“A sultry chanteuse, a hunk on the lam and a fortune in stolen gems”

Nobody in Macao will say why Nick Cochran (Robert Mitchum), an American drifter, is stuck there, or what he left behind. A chance to clear his name arrives with a job: pose as a crook and help take down an international crime lord. Josef von Sternberg puts him in the same smoky rooms as the singer Julie Benson (Jane Russell), and every lie he tells her now costs him.
