7/10
Pretty good, a B+ movie if there ever was one.

Warning: Spoilers
This is Maltese Falcons' cast w/ a Casablanca-like script but dumbed down a few notches. Bogie is Rick, both of Charlie Chan's most famous Sons are in here-Keye Luke and Victor Sen Young, Mary Astor is around to trade barbs w/ Bogie on board, while you get to see Phillip Ahn sneak into a theatre, say 'Plantation' to Bogie and wind up dead. Plus you get a toy plane at the end, some dead baddies and Mary Astor showing up, right on cue after the last of the lead has flown. 'Don't mind the entrails or the exploding plane-let's kiss!'...urmmm, yeah.

I actually had fun w/ this, but it IS a flag waver rah-rah Bataan like movie, nothing more. Enjoy the cast (Greenstreet is a hoot) and don't think about it too much, you'll be okay.

*** or so outta ****
