'A moça do quarto 13' (The girl in room 13) - 1961

17 September 1961 - a Brazilian-USA co-production filmed in São Paulo and São Vicente, 'A moça do quarto 13 ' (Girl in room 13).

A letter summons US detective Steve Marshall to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in search of fugitive murderess Louise Dunning. Marshall contacts Louise and learns that she murdered her husband only in self-defense. In the meantime, Marshall is set up as a pawn in a counterfeiting ring (they were the ones who had sent him the letter), and unwittingly helps the police capture the criminals. Louise decides to remain in Brazil. (synopsis written by Mark Holcomb - mholcomb@europa.com - for IMDb).

Brian Donlevy plays detective Steve Mitchell in the series 'Dangerous Assignment' started as a radio show in 1949 and moved to TV from 1952 to 1954.

17 September 1961 - daily OEPS's columnist praises 'Girl in room 13' saying that even though the plot line is not really original there are good quality elements in the movie like Andrea Bayard's and John Herbert's acting, Konstantin Tkaczenko's photography and Pierino Massenzi's scenography which showed S.Paulo in a better view than 20th Century Fox's Henry Levin who had filmed S.Paulo less than a year before for 'Holiday lovers'.
