 Decent Film Ruined By Poor Picture and Audio December 6, 2009
Andre LeBlanc (North Dakota)
I give this movie only 3 stars because of the horrible quality of the DVD. Hedy Lamarr and Charles Boyer do a wonderful job in this 1930s classic story. However, the picture quality is terrible (as is the audio), which is inexcusable for a movie that is regarded as a "classic." It's like watching an old reel to reel that is worn out and spliced numerous times along the way. I don't expect Blu Ray quality on a 1938 film, but I can watch and enjoy many pre 1950 black and white films. This is barely watchable. This DVD shouldn't even be on the market.

Beauty and Le Phew January 12, 2008
Jose Gomez Reguera (Mexico City)
Once acclaimed as the world's most beautiful woman, Hedy Lamarr's presence in this film more than justifies her title.
I bought the film merely to stare, open mouthed, at a beauty that can only be described as unearthly. Small wonder old Pepe le Moko lost his noggin
over her. And this brings us to Charles Boyer. In the film he's supposed to be the kingpin of the most ruthless cutthroats this side of hell (the Casbah).
I don't buy it. If this little man, with his Pepe Le Phew voice and dreamy eyes were to suddenly attempt to mug me, I'd have to suppress a laugh. Jean
Gabin I'd be afraid of, but Charlie...Still he is charismatic and pleasant to watch.
.......Sigrid Gurie is the SHOW in this Film..... April 18, 2007

For this 1938 movie, the reproduction [DVD] is fine with no major flaws or annoyances as stated by my colleague; however, I found this movie to drag on in a very depressive enviroment, but that is, the Casbah....no wonder Boyer wanted to crash out at all costs...the talented, Sigrid Gurie, steals the show with her professional acumen as a wonderful actress and she is beautiful with all the accolades due her cunning/performance of a rejected lover...as for Hedy Lamarr, I was disappointed in her role and the poor use of camera/angles [her face] from the camera/man, Hedy's true, pure beauty was not exploited and she deserved better...but just seeing her move about was good enough for this admirer of Hedy...Mr. Boyer looked the part of the true Frenchman he is and he made the name of Pepe Le Moko a household name across our land; nonetheless, "Algiers" was a huge success at the boxoffice and that's covers alot of sins to the studio bosses like Walter Wanger who was big medicine in the late 1930s and throughout the WW2 years...as Variety would brandish for a front page headline, "Algiers is Boffo" [ Big $$$,$$$'s]....so be it!!....SSGT CHRIS SARNO-USMC FMF
