A solid noir thriller, Macao is notable for not actually being filmed there. Well, that's not strictly true; there's some stock footage that's the Real Deal, but it's pretty obvious this Howard Hughes-produced piece was filmed strictly on set.
The chemistry between Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell is palpable, though it occasionally seems to revolve around who can be the most laid-back of the pair.

I first saw this about twenty years ago and just watched it for the second time. I remembered it being a lot better than it was the second time around. Unfortunately, several films I've rewatched lately have turned out to have been better in my memory than they were upon reviewing. Still, though the film suffers from lackluster direction and a weak script, the presence of several very good actors makes it more interesting than it might otherwise have been.
Also, this film has a fascinating ... Read More

With noirs, good acting is the head on the mug of beer. Strictly speaking, it's not needed for enjoyment, but a beer is more satisfying with the foam on. That brings up Jane Russell. In Macao, she looks mighty fine with all that Howard Hughes-directed attention given to how she was photographed and what she wore. Not speaking, she's every inch a femme fatale.

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.

Mitchum ends up in Macao and is mistaken for William Bendix, a cop looking to extradite casino owner Brad Dexter. Gloria Grahame plays the beautiful ... Read More

This begins with a chase scene: a man in a white suit and white hat running, being chased by some thugs and a sinister Chinese guy with a knife. The man stops and looks back, forgetting Satchel Paige's dictum: "Don't look back, something might be gaining on you." They are in fact only dozen yards or so behind. But he starts running again and miraculously they are now further behind! (Typical chase scene camera work resulting in illogic. But never mind.) He ducks around a corner and hides. One of the thugs ... Read More
