'Algiers' is her 2nd-most seductive role; however the film was released in 1938. Has a lot of atmosphere though. It co-stars Charles Boyer and has dialog by James M. Cain. Its a remake of the french film, 'Pepe Le Moko' starring Jean Gabin.

The speech given by David Niven in the movie may likely be my #1 favorite monologue of all time. He pounds it. It defines the story. Even acknowledging that its a film filled with wonderful monologues sprinkled throughout the pic; its the best moment.
My #2 and #3 fave monologues are found in 'Capricorn One' (David Doyle and Hal Holbrook, respectively).
