Mauricio R @RT87072560 Sep 7, 2026 Very predictable. It is a movie with "yet to develop" cinematic language: precipitated cuts and OST does not exactly match scenes. Bogart is not at his best, but is the only one really acting, for the others are far behind his skills. Photography is clear B&W. Difficult to watch until the end. Not my cup of tea. Oh, I almost forgot: the doctor is the best character in the whole movie. I cannot recommend watching this one. See more Patrick S @PatrickStruik Jan 2, 2026 A sublime Humphrey Bogart film. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Oct 22, 2025 It's a mix of gangster flick, noir, and melodrama dipping it's feet into all 3 pretty equally. Music is really good but I wish it was more distinct and catchy. Everything else though man is pretty masterful. I think a big part of the enjoyment level is how one feels about the whole subplot with the family and Bogart helping them out. For me I felt it was charming, added to his character depth, and was really well written in. I can see hwo someone could find it out of place and forced though and wanting to stay strictly on the crime and Lupino. To it's credit it does a really good job of doing all three. The direction is really good. As good as the whole supporting cast is, Bogart is the true star and shines. He sends the cast over the top. Lupino and him have great chemistry. The final 15 minutes is excellent and one heck of a thrill ride. I almost wish it went on longer and more of the film was focused on him being stuck up there with Lupino. Everyone should give this a try once. All Time Classic. See more Dave H. @GridGlory Sep 6, 2025 While watching, I realized why there isn’t much R-ism in film noir, despite the time period. Then “Sleep n Eat” makes his stunning appearance & I realize it’s hard to be R-ist in the other films, with no characters of color!
