1) Arabian Nights (1942) - the film that kicked it off... only fair
2) White Savage (1943) - really fun south seas stuff
3) Cobra Woman (1944) - perhaps the best Montez-Hall Sabu film
4) Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves (1944) -a solid entry before the quality dipped
5) Tangier (1946) - in black and white but a decent noir
6) The Exile (1947) - enchanting swashbuckler
7) The Wicked City (1948) - made in France, with Montez good in a film noir part
8) The Mystery of Marie Roget (1942) - not as good as Gypsy Wildcat or Sudan but I put it here because Montez is effective as a baddy - if she'd stayed alive to the end I think this would be better received
9) Siren of Atlantis (1948) - junky lost city fun... Maria isn't that great but the film was entertaining
10) Sudan (1945) - Montez goes off with Turhan Bey which feels like cheating but she rarely looked better
