Girl in Room 13 (also known as A Moça do Quarto 13 in Brazil, and as Agente secreto 013 in Mexico) is a 1960 American film starring Brian Donlevy and directed by Richard E. Cunha.[2]
American detective Steve Marshall goes to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in search of fugitive murderess Louise Dunning. Marshall contacts Louise and she explains that she murdered her husband in self-defense. Meanwhile, Marshall stumbles upon a counterfeiting ring and becomes a suspect. He unwittingly helps the police set a trap to catch the gang and, after a double-cross, the criminals are captured. Louise decides to remain in Brazil.
A review in TV Guide describes the film as a "Brazilian quickie," with "an aging Donlevy wasted as a private eye from the States who is tracking a murderer. [...] Not an elegant way for Donlevy to wind down his career."[3] A synopsis of the film at AllMovie describes the Donlevy character as a "gringo gumshoe."[4]
