AFFAIR IN TRINIDAD
(Columbia) »| HE last time we saw Rita Hayworth on the screen-before her temporary abandonment of Hollywood-was, if memory serves, with Glenn Ford in The Loves of Carmen. In Affair in Trinidad she is again teamed with Ford, but not this time as a snare Andalusian. She is a simple American girl who delights the patrons of the Caribbee, a Port of. Spain night-spot, with her simple uninhibited dancing. When the story opens, her husband. has been conveniently murdered (foreign agents from Farther East have been plotting against our security) and she has just been pressed into the counter-espionage service by the local chief of police-played’ with \un-British ruthlessness by Torin Thatcher. Mr. Ford, however, arrives in time to take charge of the unofficial operations, enjoy the routine sequence of misunderstandings with the star, and (of course) eventually carry her home to the freer air of the United States. I can’t say that I was impressed by Affair in Trinidad, but if I seem to be looking down my nose at Miss Hayworth I can only plead that that is the angle her couturiére seems to have had in mind.
