My all time favorite Bogey film, even better than Casablanca in my book.
Betty Bacall was 19 when she first met Bogey during this film, he was in his 40s and married.
The energy between them wasn’t all contrived for the film. He soon got divorced, and they were devoted to each other until he died.
Sheldon Leonard, more famous for producing all sorts of TV sitcoms in the 60s, has a cameo role as one of Renard’s thugs.
One of my favorite lines: “What are you doing, guessing her weight?”
