A crime-drama classic. Great, intriguing, unpredictable plot. Stylish direction by the now-legendary John Huston (making his directorial debut).
Humphrey Bogart pretty much plays the stereotypical Bogie role - cool, aloof, sharp-witted, calculating, wise-cracking - and does it superbly. Good support from Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Lee Patrick.
