Ross Lederman]] and starring [[John Loder (actor)|John Loder]], [[Ruth Ford (actress)|Ruth Ford]], [[Warren Douglas]] and [[Paul Cavanagh]]. The film is based on the play ''[[The Green Goddess (stage play)|The Green Goddess]]'' by [[William Archer (critic)|William Archer]]. ==Synopsis== Three Americans in an airplane flying to Egypt crash-land in Iraq. They are taken in by a local sheik, but soon begin to suspect that he may not be quite as friendly as he appears to be. ==Production== The film was made by [[Warner Brothers]] as a [[B-movie|programmer]]. It was a remake of Archer's play ''The Green Goddess'', updating the action to modern [[Iraq]]. It encountered strong objections from the [[United States Office of War Information|OWI]], who charged that its plot was unintentially both [[Anglophobia|anti-British]] and [[Anti-Arabism|anti-Arab]] and was potentially offensive to America's ally and to neutral Arab countries. The film have already been granted an [[export licence]], but pressure from the [[State Department]] overrode this. Consequently, it was the only Warners' film not to receive an overseas release during the 1940s.<ref>Glancy p.192-193</ref> ==Cast== *[[John Loder (actor)|John Loder]] ...
