With a very complex plot that demands from those who watch full attention to the dialogues and the narrative, a studded detective and some scenes of shooting and fighting totally out of reality.
Humprey Bogart as well as James Stewart, is a reference in noir films, but I confess that in this film I was lost, the plot has many plot twists which ended up confusing me and needing to review the film to understand the story, I believe that the story has characters too much and some that don't add to anything.
Obviously we're talking about a 1946 movie, so it's not possible to compare it with current movies (which are certainly based on previous works) but even compared to other works from the same period, this movie didn't really please.
Despite that, the figure of the ham detective who always gets along is funny in some scenes.
