The aura of Humphrey Bogart, the leading actor, is so powerful, much more domineering than "Casablanca". His light even overshadowed the already powerful ingenious suspenseful reasoning story

"If I know that you can't afford to kill me, how can you scare me? Sir, there are other ways to persuade me besides killing and threatening to kill."...The film is both Bogart's personal charm Show is more of Spade's personal character show. In the initial sequence of the mystery, the hard-core private investigator's position is the lowest, and the situation is the most disadvantaged. No matter what degree of secrecy, only he is kept in the dark. but! In the process of revealing the secrets and investigating the crime, he showed the vision, wisdom, strategy and courage that his opponents were far behind. Instantly recognize snakes and scorpions, keep stalking, save and send black birds, persuade and accept the transfer of charges... Step by step, the situation of absolute passiveness will be turned into completely under my control. But what is interesting is that the actor's dual strength in actors and roles has not eclipsed the villain's lineup. The image characteristics and performance of Pietro and the Fat Green Street are enough to play with Bogart and form the three strong points that the audience loves to hear. The golden partner, co-starred in a number of black film masterpieces, including the Bourbon North Africa. The only failure may be that Mary Astor's glamorous value is not enough to persuade the audience that Spade had an inner struggle when she decided to send her to the law.
