Too bad Hedy wasn't available for "Casablanca", L B Mayer refused to loan her to Warner Bros, so they had to settle for the matronly looking Ingrid Bergman. "Conspirators" was not suppose to be another Casablanca, not with Paul Henreid as its male hero. This guy was only good as the 'other' person, not a leading man. Hedy's gorgeous beauty shown in every scene, distracted one from the story. I could still see that 'jewel' shining in the night, at the port, as her 'lover' departed. This being the war years early 40's, the top leading men were serving their country, so they had to settle for the likes of a Paul Henreid as a leading man...ugh.
