Still though Boyer does a fabulous job as Pepe, though I would some day like to see Jean Gabin's version for comparison. It was a musical version that fell short of establishing Martin as a big screen draw, but the songs were some of his best selling records. There was a third film version of Pepe Le Moko's story with Casbah starring Tony Martin. A few establishing newsreel shots and great sets and you would think this was done on location. What's even more extraordinary is that Director John Cromwell did a magnificent job in capturing the mood and ambiance of Algiers. And Gene Lockhart as the treacherous Regis got a nod for Best Supporting Actor, but he was beaten out by Walter Brennan in Kentucky. Charles Boyer was nominated for Best Actor as Pepe, but lost to Spencer Tracy in Boys Town. Algiers launched her career for American audiences with a blowout performance. No one ever questioned that about Lamarr. The right circumstances was definitely Algiers where Boyer knew that the woman who could stir him from his safety net had to be one extraordinarily beautiful woman. And in the right circumstances she could give a decent performance. There's a lot of debate as to how good an actress Lamarr was. The one he did was Conquest with Greta Garbo. He told Walter Wanger and Wanger worked out a deal with Mayer that they could have Lamarr if Boyer did an MGM film.

Boyer met Lamarr at a party according to The Films of Hedy Lamarr Citadel Press Series book and was taken with her. But MGM couldn't find anything for her to do, so she stayed idle drawing her weekly paycheck while a suitable property was found. Mayer after her scandalous nude scene in the Austrian film Ecstacy. Hedy Lamarr was under contract to MGM having been brought over by Louis B. And the bait for that walks in with a visiting tourist from Paris played by Hedy Lamarr. Joseph Calleia as Inspector Slimane knows the only way to capture him is to lure him out of his shelter. But in the Casbah he's untouchable as the visiting French prefect Paul Harvey finds out.
He cannot leave because the French police will grab him and a whole bunch of countries are getting in line with the French Foreign office to deport to face a slew of crimes. Unfortunately while hanging out in the forbidden section of French Algiers known as the Casbah, Pepe has sort of built his own prison in that section. But this film did wonders for Charles Boyer in establishing him among the first rank of American film stars.
Jean Gabin who has been compared to Humphrey Bogart certainly would have brought a different style of Pepe Le Moko. It's not often that a remake is made only a year later. The tragic account of Pepe Le Moko having been filmed in France the year before with Jean Gabin as the star must have really impressed producer Walter Wanger.
