Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Maddyclassicfilms Moment Of Danger is directed by Laslo Benedek, has a screenplay by David D. Osborn, is based on the novel by Donald MacKenzie and stars Dorothy Dandridge, Trevor Howard,Edmund Purdom and Michael Hordon.Thief Peter Curran(Edmund Purdom)and locksmith John Bain(Trevor Howard)steal some jewels and Bain is double crossed by Curran. Curran also abandons his girlfriend Gianna(Dorothy Dandridge), Gianna and Bain team up together to get even with Curran. As time goes on they begin to fall in love with each other.This would sadly be one of Dorothy's last films and she gives a truly magnificent and powerful performance as Gianna, when she's on screen she holds your attention completely. Trevor is superb as Bain and has great chemistry with Dandridge. A great crime drama which deserves more attention than it's received.

samtrak1204 Dorothy Dandridge is the only reason to see this awful film. The plot sucks. The dialog is really stupid. The film is racist because Dorothy and Trevor are not allowed to touch even though they share the same bed. This was Dorothy's last film and the desperation shows. After her Oscar nominated role as "Carmen Jones" in 1954 Dandridge was offered only one more starring role in a big production movie because Hollywood didn't know what to do with a beautiful black leading lady...thus relegating the star to whatever low budget B or foreign films her devoted manager could scrounge up. "Porgy and Bess" followed five years after "Carmen" but was universally panned or boycotted by blacks resenting the mammy images and blatant racial stereotypes created by producer Otto Preminger, Dorothy's back door white lover.Actually Trevor Howard is much too ugly to kiss beautiful Dorothy Dandridge...race aside. She should have been given a handsome leading man like her lightweight boyfriend in this film. Still I would love to see legitimate quality copies of MALAGA, MURDER MEN, and PORGY & BESSS released on DVD.

carolscott564 I remembered this film as a child when it would come on Channel 7 movie. I could not believe this was Ms. Dandridge's last film role because she was so good. Hopefully this movie will be on DVD. The cast was so good and due to Jim Crow they could show kissing between black and whites in films like they can now. I've always liked Trevor Howard and he was quite good in Malaga. After Carmen Jones Ms. Dandridge did other films such as Island in The Sun Porgy and Bess, The Decks Ran Red and Tamango and except for Porgy and Bess she always seem to be lusted after by white men. But Ms. Dandridge to me was our Marilyn Monroe! This movie is rarely shown on TV whether cable or not! For Black History month certain stations would mostly show Sidney Poitier movies as if that is what Black History is all about. Some people never heard of Dorothy Dandridge until Halle Berry portrayed on HBO! They say you're as good as last film and this film would be the last for Ms. Dandridge and we will never know what other film roles she would have done.

carmenjones411 Dorothy finished up her film career with this great film about two drifters trying to find a jewel thief who has wronged them, Dorothy is very effective playing this world weary woman, because she herself was weary in her own life, she plays the part with no make-up and a not so becoming wig, but manages to look breath-taking none the less, i think her character Gianna is the best she ever played, even more than Carmen because the line between fact and fiction blurred in this, the rest of cast is also effective, Dorothy and Trevor worked well together, and should have been paired in another film.this is a hard to find film, but worth it to see Dorothy in her last film role.
