Review :

A spy flick that never ignites

"Flame of Stamboul" begins in Istanbul but is mostly set in Cairo, Egypt. It was made just before big social and political changes swept the Middle East, and this film has a kind of 1940s feel to it. But unlike the '40s spy classics, it lacks suspense.

The "Flame" in the title is a nightclub dancer who agrees to take part in a big jewel heist, never guessing that it is really an espionage operation. She also doesn't realize that American agents are on her trail.

The beginning of the movie is the best, when things are still murky enough to be intriguing. But once it becomes clear what's going, the plot just kind of unfolds, without any interesting twists. And the dancing is unimpressive, even though the "Flame" is supposed to be the hottest entertainer in the Levant.

George Zucco plays the master spy known as "the Voice." This was one of his final films before he retired for health reasons, and he looks sluggish and frail. You could say the same about the movie.
