Subject: One of my favorites
This is not a noir film. It has none of the hallmarks of noir unless the presence og Bogart is enough.

But it is a fabulous film. Great characters. Great situations. Great twists.

The thing that is wwrong with this movie is Jennifer Jones,her Norman Rockwell Doris Day looks just don"t fit here,her snooty english rich bitch act had no redeeming qualities whatsoever,its to hard to believe that Bogart would feel anything but pity for her(who would leave gina lollabrigida for J.J?:..only someone like rock hudson,and bogart was no rock hudson.
