The plot of 'Passport to Shame' could accurately be described as taxi drivers vs human traffickers, though that also makes it sound cooler then it is. English cabbie Eddie Constantine marries French waitress Odile Versois so she can get a work permite, neither realizes at the time it is part of Herbert Lom's overly complicated plan to turn the woman into a high class prostitute. Things are further complicated by this discovery and the two actually falling for each other. Lom then has Versois kidnapped and Constantine must enlist the help of his fellow cabbies, as well as that of a lady of the night played by the U.K's answer to Marylin Monroe, Diana Doors. An odd film, but kind of endearing for being so odd. **
