Black Jack

Alternately titled Captain Black Jack, this Franco-American coproduction stars George Sanders as a sophisticated scoundrel living by his wits on the Riviera. Sanders lets those around him believe that he’s a secret agent; actually he’s a notorious drug smuggler known as Captain Black Jack. Herbert Marshall plays a doctor who appears to swallow Sanders’ story. In truth, Marshall is a detective, sworn to track down and capture Sanders. Filmed in Spain, Black Jack was released in the US three years after its completion–and then only after 15 minutes had been shorn from its running time., Smuggler (George Sanders) attempts to land displaced persons. Patricia Roc, Herbert Marshall, Agnes Moorehead, Marcel Dalio. Filmed in Spain by French crew with an English cast. Also known as “Captain Black Jack.” Directed by Julien Duvivier.
