Cheap copy of the legendary Julian Duvivier original film of 1937.
POOR MEN AND WOMEN,THEY LISTENED TO THE CALL OF PRAYER AND THEY DID NOT DISCOVER THE CALL OF GOD TO RETURN TO HIM. NOW, THEY ARE ALL DAD, POOR OF THEM.
Filme sensacional. Não se fazem mais filmes lindos.
I have known and watch Hedy LaMar movies since 10 years old… funny how people did not know of her until JD… all these comments!!!

Best print ever!
This is a great example of early Hollywood shameless and cheap piracy of foreign great films. It imitated Julien Duvivier's classic work of French poetic realism and great forerunner of film noir "Pépé le Moko". There were whole shots and sequences simply transposed, and then the bad imitations, like Boyer after Gabin. Also the beautiful original music was simply copied copiously. Watching "Algiers" after knowing "Pépé le Moko" really infuriates any person with good taste and artistic honesty.
The most criminal act of this forgery was the ending. The original film ends in suicide of Pépé, but the cheap moralistic worldview of Hollywood at that time changed it to Pépé shot at the end trying to run to see Gaby for the last time.
what a great movie, I'm in tears!
I can't understand the French Pepe le Moko so this will do ..
Gilligan little buddy!
Sad emding
Its not Casbah, from John Berry in 1948, It’s Algiers from John Cromwell in 1938. Both are remake of Pépé le Moko from Julien Duvivier in 1937.
Clasico Film 30s con Charles Boyer drama intriga romance recomendable🎬📽🎞
Triste fin. Triste vie pour Gaby et Pépé.
La casbah existe-t-elle toujours ?
Hedy Lamar was an exquisite beauty as well as an exceptionally brilliant person, every thinking man's ideal.
I would love to see Green Mansions with Audrey Hepburn be made available!
Je pense à Jean Gabin……
Un bon remake de Pépé le moko avec le beau Charles Boyer en voyou irrésistible et la sublime Hedy Lamarr, un couple de cinéma idéal. Dommage l histoire finit mal….
Charles Boyer a joué avec succès dans d autres remakes comme The 13th letter (Le corbeau) et Fanny qui regroupe la trilogie de Marcel Pagnol (Marius, Fanny, César). Il était français même s il vivait aux Etats-Unis et donc pas choquant qu il reprenne des rôles tenus par Pierre Larquey, Raimu, Jean Gabin
Cracking film! The ending brought a tear to my eye! Great performance by Charles Boyer! Great supporting roles for the great Gene Lockhart and Alan Hale sr. THanks for this!
🍿🍿🍿 now available with subtitles in 中文, Dansk, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, 日本語, Nederlands, Português, Pусский, Svenska.

Fantastic!
This has a very sophisticated script, directing, cinematography, acting. The murder by the piano is Wellsian. A diamond of a film. The behavior of the characters is very rich.

Hedy was not only beyond beautiful but also quite brilliant. Girl genius.
Algiers is a beautiful city, I lived there. The Kasbah was a magical and mysterious place I loved to walk there as a child.
1:10:38: This part was very briefly featured in Mr. Bean In Room 426
Aspect ratio is wrong.
Great 👍 film.
Contrairement à ce qui est annoncé ce film n'est pas de John Berry. Il a été réalisé par John Cromwell, lui aussi victime de la chasse aux sorcières, et date de 1938.
I read the comments before I viewed the movie. Very good comments that brings light to the film, thank you.
38:00 Such a womanly thing to say.
Non, ce Casbah n'est pas de John Berry mais de John Cromwell, réalisé en 1938.
