Olive - World for Ransom

An exotic film noir set against the backdrop of Cold War Shanghai, WORLD FOR RANSOM stars Dan Duryea (SCARLET STREET) as roguish detective Mike Callahan, who is drawn into a plot to kidnap a nuclear scientist (Arthur Shields). But the deeper Callahan delves into the mystery, the more labyrinthine the conspiracy becomes, as military intelligence (led by Reginald Denny), a criminal mastermind (Gene Lockhart), and a cross-dressing femme fatale (Marian Carr) all vie to control his fate.
