Top CriticAlthough the characters are basically stereotypes, they are lent the gift of life by a superlative cast.
06/24/06
Top CriticThe script prepared by Mr. Huston and Richard Brooks was too full of words and highly cross-purposed implications to give the action full chance.

Top CriticEdward G. Robinson deserves special praise.

Top CriticThis production is loaded with wit, and even though it’s obvious from the start that Frank’s going to be the hero, you can’t help feeling the tension and pleading with him to do the right thing.

It ultimately pales next to other Bogart and Bacall work, though it's still a reasonably good watch that has stood up well over the last 50 years.

A little windy and rhetorical for my taste, but still one of John Huston's best efforts.
