9/10
A Spectacular Film I Had Missed All This Time!!
6 April 2023
I"m so glad to have caught this little gem of a movie. I have no idea who Pat O'Brian was, he surely doesn't have much charisma nor good looks, but he did alright here, in his role. The best is the script. Reversals, twist, turns, it's all here. This is a mini Casablanca of sorts, it's so well written! It's probably a 10, I don't know why I'm only giving it a 9/10.

The kid wasn't annoying. Bogie's wife was very good in her role. (No chemistry whatsoever with Bogie, as she is more matronly than femme fatale, but they barely have a scene or 2 together, so it's alright!)

But that ending... folks! Watch it for the build up to the end. I'm so glad to have watched this. I'm so tired of modern movies that have to end badly. This was just perfect. Bogie was great in it. Fast paced, never bored here, a joy to watch. I'll probably upgrade this feel good movie to the 10/10 it truly deserves. Well done, everyone!
