With a cast like this and a combination of suspense-comedy-romance and drama, this could have been an extraordinary film. In fact, you would expect it to be but, alas, it is far from that. It was a big disappointment.
Much of the humor is so-so at best and the action is nothing to write home about. The story is so blah that after an hour, it's tough to stay focused.
It's incredible to make those statements when you consider the cast includes Humphrey Bogart, Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre, Jane Darwell, Frank McHugh, Jackie Gleason, Judith Anderson, Phil Silvers and William Demarest.
The film isn't all that bad, but if you have a collection of films that is of any size, as I do, this wasn't good enough to be a "keeper."
