Tampico was a 1944 drama/war film directed by Lothar Mendes and released by 20th Century Fox. It starred Edward G. Robinson, Lynn Bari, Victor McLaglen, Marc Lawrence, and Mona Maris.
Capt. Bart Manson (Edward G. Robinson) is the captain of an oil tanker during World War II, who rescues Katherine Hall (Lynn Bari) when her ship is sunk by a German U-boat. The couple marry, but Manson's ship is subsequently sunk as well. Hall becomes a prime suspect for involvement as she was carrying no identification when rescued. However Manson later discovers that his First Mate Fred Adamson (Victor McLaglen) is in fact a German agent responsible for the sinking, and Hall is cleared of any culpability.
