Korean vet Gregory Fitzgerald (Steve Forrest) is headed to France to study for the priesthood along with Tony Lugacetti. On the plane, famed fashion designer Francesca (Simone Renant) is taken with Greg and gives him her address. He goes out into the Paris night and shares a cab with nightclub singer Monica Johnson (Anne Baxter). Soon, he is pulled into a murder mystery involving her.
Steve Forrest looks like an old matinee idol. He's got the chiselled jaw, the towering height, but without much charisma. He definitely isn't acting like a man of God. He's like a Jack Palance with less intensity. Anne Baxter is trying her best but her character is hopelessly lost in melodrama. As for the ending, I'm uncertain of the premise and dislike the execution. It is interesting to see 50's Paris in color and that's probably all to see in this movie.
