Peter Lorre stars in this classic crime thriller. In Port Said, a Japanese detective calling himself Mr Moto is abducted and killed. But the real Mr Moto (Lorre) has in fact faked his own death, leaving him free to investigate an international conspiracy involving two rogue secret agents in the employ of a foreign power, who plan to mine Port Said harbour and destroy a visiting French fleet. By carefully planting fake evidence, the traitorous agents hope to foment a war between Britain and France, a war that would be to the advantage of the nameless country they work for. Mr Moto poses as a local shopkeeper and goes undercover to apprehend the criminals before they can put their deadly plan into effect.

Most helpful review Mr. Moto's Last Warning

Atmospheric period piece....

By BrumBoy71 from Birmingham, England , 22 Jul 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

Though the casting of a European actor Peter Lorre to play a Japanese character is now considered questionable this is a delightful period piece, set in an Asian port, evocatively created on a Hollywood back lot. Fine character actors support Lorre. The plot is some trifle about spies trying to create an ineternational incident during a French naval exercise.

Mr Moto's Last Warning

By GofWarks (60 reviews) from Radford Semele , 19 Dec 2011

The famous Japanese detective , Mr Moto (played by Peter Lorre), thwarts some dastardly foreign agents who are out to damage Anglo-French relations. They were a bit more diplomatic in those days in that they did not name the country who the agents were working for.

Moto fan

By Robert Smith from Ashby de la Zouch , 13 Oct 2005

As an ardent fan of Peter Lorre, I

enjoy everything he appears in. The

Mr.Moto series is no exception, and

this one of the best, but George

Sanders as a foreigner is a bit of a

miscast Considering its age, it is well

worth a look.
