Man from Tangier (U.S. title: Thunder over Tangier) is a 1957 British second feature[3] crime film directed by Lance Comfort and starring Robert Hutton, Lisa Gastoni and Martin Benson.[4] It was written by Paddy Manning O'Brine.
A criminal flees from TangiertoLondon with forged money plates, leading to the gang he works for sending a dangerous woman to pursue him.
Man in Tangier was cut by the British Board of Film Classification to 67 minutes running time, in order to achieve a "U" classification.[2] The film premiered at Odeon Marble Arch in London on 27 January 1957, where it ran as a double bill together with Monkey on My Back (1957).[1]
In April 2011 the film was released on DVD as a double bill together with director Lance Comfort's 1961 film The Breaking Point.[5]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A fairly competent thriller, in which the upholders of the law are considerably more convincing than the crooks, with their alternating foreign and public-school accents. The story is very vaguely constructed; initially there seems very little reason for introducing Tangier; towards the end the action is almost incoherent."[6]
