Lo sapevi?
- QuizThe poor little bureaucrat Herr Bulic is tricked into gambling by Dimitrios. Herr Bulic buys his beautiful wife an evening dress to wear to the Casino. The dress is a two-piece with a long black skirt and a long sleeve top covered in bugle beads. Except for a black velvet bow at the cleavage, it is identical to the one worn by Yvonne in "Casablanca" where she tells Rick "What a fool I was to fall for a man like you!"
- BlooperWhen Professor Leyden is in the cafe with the journalist inquiring about Dimitrios to the proprietress, at one point the band plays an instrumental version of the song Perfidia. This scene in the story takes place in 1938 as evidenced by the recent invitation to a party sent by Madame Chavez a few days before. The song, however, was published in 1939 and it became a hit in 1940, Therefore, the band is playing a song that didn't exist yet.
- Citazioni
Colonel Haki: But to me the most important thing to know about an assassination is not who fired a shot - but who paid for the bullet!
- Curiosità sui creditiForeword: For money, some men will allow the innocent to hang. They will turn traitor....they will lie, cheat, steal...they will kill. They appear brilliant, charming, generous! But they are deadly. Such a man was Dimitrios.

Recensione in evidenza
A mystery writer (Peter Lorre) visiting Istanbul is told stories of a notorious criminal named Dimitrios (Zachary Scott) whose body was just found washed ashore on the beach. Intrigued by what he hears, he decides to investigate Dimitrios' life. Along the way he's joined by a mysterious man named Mr. Peters (Sydney Greenstreet), who had his own dealings with Dimitrios.
Intriguing noir thriller, directed by Jean Negulesco with a fine script adapted from an Eric Ambler novel. Most classic movie fans know any picture with Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet is bound to be good and this is one of their best. It's nice to see Lorre playing the 'hero' of the piece for once. Both men are in top form and their scenes together are excellent. Zachary Scott makes his film debut here and, for my money, it's one of his best roles. Faye Emerson and many other quality actors make up the supporting cast. It's a talky movie but that isn't necessarily a bad thing with a good cast and smart script like this. Definitely worth your time.
