Jo Eisinger (July 24, 1909 – January 1991) was a film and television writer whose career spanned more than 40 years from the early 1940s well into the 1980s. He is widely recognized as the writer of two of the most psychologically complex film noirs, Gilda (1946) and Night and the City (1950).
The Scorpio Letters
Joe Christopher (Alex Cord) is an American secret agent reluctantly employed by British secret service for a life and death mission. Teamed with the beauteous Phoebe Stewart (Shirley Eaton - the "golden girl" of Goldfinger), Christopher is expected to locate the head of an international blackmail ring. The villain is known only by the code name "Scorpio," which could under the circumstances be a masculine or feminine monicker.
