Golden Salamander (1950)

Archaeologist Trevor Howard journeys to a small north African town to catalogue the cargo of a downed ship for a British museum, said cargo including one golden salamander. There Trevor meets an eighteen year old Anouk Aimée, who he romances despite being 19 years her senior, and battles a crime syndicate whose bought off Miles Malleson and is using Herbert Lom as an enforcer. Nice exotic setting, a couple good chase scenes, and stock characters. Fair.
