Affair in Trinidad is a 1952 film produced by Columbia Pictures starring Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford. It is notable as Hayworth's "comeback" film after four years away from Columbia, as a reteaming of the Gilda (1946) co-stars, and for a fiery opening dance number by Hayworth. The film outgrossed Gilda at the box office by one million dollars.

An interesting part of the plot relates to the actions of some spies in Trinidad. In the beginning of the film, a narrator announces that the Caribbean, once thought a backwater in international affairs, has become increasingly important. Apparently, the spies are working for some unnamed country to create missile sites throughout the Caribbean to be used to target American cities. One of the characters in the film who is supposed to be from the country that is paying for these missile sites to be created has a vaguely Germanic type accent, but in 1952, what reason would Germany have for placing missiles in the Caribbean? There is an eerie picture of the proposed missile project, showing the paths these missiles would take to targets in America. One of the sites is on Cuba!! What country in 1952 would be interested in such a project? Were the filmakers implying that it was Russia?
