Robert Hossein doing his version of Ford’s The Fugitive or something. It takes place in some abstract third world country that is really a European purgatory and is full of art western trappings. There are far too much mystification for this to quite work and western does not suit Hossein quite as well as Clozout/Lang thrillers do, but he has a knack for images of entrapment that does give it plenty of force. As a hallucination of remaining suspended, political and physically, at a place, this works.

It's Always Fair Weather 1955
The last of the Donen/Kelly musicals, getting the joy in the middle anxiety undercurrent of Singin’ in the Rain and pushing the anguish forefront. The musical numbers are major breaks that allow the movie to slowly earn a more upbeat conclusion. Kelly’s choreography is among his finest, one great imaginative number after another, and the scope framing is almost as good.
