This is one of Robert Mitchum's coolest films. It is not a dark noir film like "Out of the Past" but a crime caper with a great cast set in an exotic locale. It has its own atmosphere and is a lot of fun for Mitchum fans. This is pure entertainment with a breezy feel all the way through, much the same as "The Big Steal" with Mitchum and Jane Greer.
Mitchum ends up in Macao and is mistaken for William Bendix, a cop looking to extradite casino owner Brad Dexter. Gloria Grahame plays the ... Read More

This is a delightful film, all naive and wallowing in its own exoticism. Robert Mitchum is always a powerful presence on screen, and as for Russell's designer lame', louche seductiveness, it's still naively camp. You can watch it again and again, flaws and all.

Of course I know this is a film noire, but for me it has always had a comic aspect. You see, my uncle/godfather, Harold J. Kennedy, played the part of the drunken letch in the opening scene.

MACAO is a fairly entertaining story of crime and adventure in the Portuguese colony near Hong Kong after World War II. Jane Russell is a singer working for a local gambling boss (Brad Dexter). Robert Mitchum is an American who is on the run and William Bendix is pretending to be a salesman but he really has another more mysterious identity. The best thing about MACAO is the pairing of Russell and Mitchum who seem to be made for each other.
Josef von Sternberg also directed THE BLUE ANGEL.

This film is a potpourri of oriental and expatriate American film noir. It's two major stars (Jane Russell and Robert Mitchum) fit like gloves into their roles. Their attraction to each other melts through the screen. There are also outstanding character role performances (and these are the film's other great strengths) by Brad Dexter (nightclub owner, gem smuggler, etc.) Thomas Gomez, Gloria Grahame, and a special mention of William Bendix, who really added a tight performance to the film.
