Salem Aleikum
1959, German. Directed by Géza von Cziffra.
Musician Peter Karmann, whose main profession is teaching Asian languages, goes on a grand tour of Africa with a ballet troupe. Unfortunately, the well-behaved Peter looks very much like the notorious smuggling baron Jack Castillo. As soon as he arrives in Tangier, he soon ends up in captivity. Rescue comes in the form of the beautiful and clever Marcella, who is madly in love with Peter.
