not a femme fatale, here, but almost a damsel in distress.

Lyle Bettger makes a very good vilain, good also David Sharpe as his henchman, and the adversity is fleshed by Marvin Miller and Alan Dexter. Victor Sen Yung is the exotic friend, ambiguous (he is a Chinese, you know, but one quoting Schopenhauer).

Good climax in a liberty ship.

Not boring at all. And with sometimes, nice angles and views:
