This is a comical crime story directed by Vincent Sherman. The black & white atmosphere of a gangster film prevails. Humphrey Bogart plays a gambler/wise guy that gathers some muscle from a gang of 'enforcers' to take on the local branch of the Third Reich. Bogart is upset about the murder of the baker of his favorite cheesecake. The wise guys end up making a shambles of a Nazi spy ring. Comedy bits filter the fisticuffs.
Star studded cast helping Bogart includes: Peter Lorre, William Demarest, Jane Darwell, Jackie Gleason, Phil Silvers, Wallace Ford and Judith Anderson. Conrad Veidt is outstanding as the Nazi ring leader.
