Curiosidades

Malaga is a 1954 British adventure film directed by Richard Sale and starring Maureen O'Hara, Macdonald Carey and Binnie Barnes. O'Hara appears as a former O.S.S. secret agent and Carey a smuggler. The film takes its title from Málaga in Spain where it was primarily shot on location. It was distributed in Britain by British Lion Films and by Columbia Pictures in America under the alternative title Fire Over Africa.

Production

Although an international cast of primarily British and German actors was involved, American producer Mitchell "Mike" Frankovich and director Richard Sale crafted a thriller set in the international city of Tangiers. Location shooting took place around Málaga in Andalucía with studio footage shot at Shepperton Studios, London from early November to mid-December 1953.

During pre-production, Errol Flynn and Indian actress Nimmi were considered for lead roles before casting was completed. While Maureen O'Hara played a James Bond-type spy, her personal life was in turmoil after a messy custody battle following a divorce. Her casting in Malaga was instrumental in winning a court case against the tabloid Confidential.
