A colorful gang of hoodlums, led by Humphrey Bogart, investigate the murder of a baker and uncover a Nazi plot. This one's a real treat with a terrific cast. The characters are like something from a Damon Runyon story. Bogie's gang is full of reliable comedic actors like William Demarest, Frank McHugh, and Jackie Gleason. Jane Darwell plays Bogie's mom and Kaaren Verne the dame he falls for. Pre-Casablanca teaming of Bogie with Conrad Veidt and Peter Lorre, who play the main Nazis. That's not all: Judith Anderson, Wallace Ford, Barton MacLane, Edward Brophy, Phil Silvers...a really great lineup. A fun movie with snappy patter and good comedy, action, and intrigue. Bogart fans will, of course, love this. If there's a negative, it's that it's a little overlong for a movie of its type.
