KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

starbase202 While I do realize that Rita Hayworth had enough sex appeal to cause an international crisis on her own, I was struck by the anti-USA plotters map showing - in the last half of the movie - missile targets in the USA. Could this movie and that map inspired the USSR to place their missiles in Cuba during the 1960s? But let's get back to the movie and to its many smokers: Rita, and Glenn especially. They again, were both truly HOT working together. I wonder just how well they 'clicked' off screen? Of course, the movie duplicated many aspects of "GILDA". But who cares, it still holds up well. But I was amazed at two things in the movie: how much everyone smoked AND how many wore heavy clothes for topical TRINIDAD.

MartinHafer In 1946, Columbia Pictures had a huge hit on its hands with "Gilda". Now, six years later, the studio has reunited its stars, Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth, for a similar sort of film. However, despite the similarities of the plot, this one just doesn't measure up and is a mostly tepid film that could have used a much better script.The film begins with the death of Rita's husband. Oddly, she never seemed all too broken up because of this and when the police ask her to 'dig around', she agrees to hang out with an unsavory friend who probably was responsible for the man's death (which was incorrectly ruled a suicide). Now think about it...the police asking her to walk into a dangerous place AND involve herself in an illegal search! However, the dead husband's brother (Ford) blunders in and mostly spends his time overacting--either screaming at Rita and blaming her for the death OR begging her pardon and apologizing for the outburst--followed by making out with her! Frankly, none of this made a lot of sense. And so, by the time the film was over, I was annoyed--annoyed because the romance made no sense at all (what was the motivation AND didn't Rita's husband just die!?). In addition, the whole thing came off as a bit talky and dull. A disappointment, that's for sure.

gridoon2018 This Rita Hayworth - Glenn Ford pairing may not be the classic that "Gilda" became, or quite as exotic as the title implies, but it's a pretty neat little mystery on its own. Though the supporting cast - the suavely villainous Alexander Scourby, the quirky Valerie Bettis, the comic-relief Steven Geray, etc. - is interesting enough, it's largely up to the two main stars to carry the movie. Rita Hayworth gives a low-key performance for the most part, but she also explodes in two wonderful song-and-dance numbers (one thing I noticed here is that her body was quite athletic by that era's standards). Ford's rugged masculinity is somehow a perfect counterpart to Hayworth's sensuality - they make a good pair. The film gets quite tense in the second half, when Rita goes on what is essentially a spy mission, but the ending is pretty rushed - and Rita's dangerous work does not really get rewarded since the police find the evidence they were looking for to get the bad guy from another source! But for fans of the two leads, "Affair In Trinidad" is still a must-see. *** out of 4.

moonspinner55 James Gunn and Oscar Saul concocted this rather simple screenplay from Berne Giler and Virginia Van Upp's original story concerning American nightclub singer in the Tropics whose husband turns up dead; the police, believing it was murder made to look like a suicide, ask the sultry widow to spy on their number one suspect, an urbane millionaire with eyes for the hips-grinding dame. Rita Hayworth, more animated than usual, acquits herself well in this florid potboiler, knocking out two song numbers in a mellow key while falling for brother-in-law Glenn Ford (to whom she's been instructed not to divulge her secrets!). Misunderstandings, steamy clinches, an impertinent native maid, and a misplaced evening scarf all lead up to an exciting climax--although director Vincent Sherman cheats us a bit by skimping on the violent details. The narrative would pretty much collapse if only the two main characters were simply honest with each other--belaboring what Roger Ebert used to call "the idiot plot"--but, nevertheless, it's a fun, glossy affair. **1/2 from ****
