This is a black-and-white film, not only because of the black-and-white film used, but the film is so simple and distinct. A good person is a good person, and a bad person is a bad person. Usually, I don't like distinct characters, because such characters can easily become thin and fake. But the characters in this movie are very real. Although good people are brave, they don't take fearless adventures. Although they believe in justice, they also understand the helplessness in this world. All...

The veteran Frank went to a small island called Chi Largo to look for the relatives of his deceased comrades, but he was taken hostage by the black boss Jonny Rock along with the relatives of his comrades. The whole film is more like a stage play performed in a hotel, with various characters appearing under the director's lens. Among them, Edward Robinson, who plays the black boss, is the most brilliant, and he interprets a triad boss who is incompatible with the post-war American society....

Once, a reporter asked Bogart about how you are with that woman. Bogart said that her name is Lauren Bacall, not that woman.
They both acted in several plays and they were all outstanding. Bogar started out as a black film, with the image of a tough guy, and Lauren Bacall's face has a maturity beyond age, and she looks hard and brave.
I will give 5 stars to all Bogart's plays, because this is not common. Although Clark Gable and Carol Lombard have also acted together, they...

Oh my goodness, John Huston is definitely not for me. However, the concept of tension within a house during storm is very fascinating, but could be a lot more interesting. The gangster's hedious look has triggered negative biological response, which degrades the...

I didn't expect it to be a semi-indoor drama. Houston uses dialogue and close-ups to continuously cut in and accumulate emotions to create a good atmosphere. It's a pity that the indoor dialogue in the middle is too boring. Edward Robinson's villain gang is excellent. Bogart's three-shot burst at the end turned this character back Bacall is bleak and dull title translation can't...

An indoor scene in a storm, discussing the cowardice/braveness of men. The character creation has a strong sense of the stage, and what happens needs to be explained by the character. Bogart's role is not much, and the female supporting role is...

The star of the film is neither the Bogart couple who never acted as a couple, nor the wheelchair-bound Barrymore, but the little Edward G....

Bacall feels that the whole film is soy sauce, Edward Robinson plays well, Bogart swallows...
Johnny Rocco: You'd give your left arm to nail me wouldn't you? I could see the headlines now, 'Local Deputy Captures Johnny Rocco'. Your picture'd be in all the papers. You might even get to tell on the newsreels how you pulled if off, yeah. Listen hick, I was too much for any big city police force to handle. It took the United States Government to pin a rap on me. And they won't make it stick. You hick, I'll be back pulling strings to get guys elected mayor and governor before you get a ten buck raise.
Toots: I say smack her and let it go at that.
Deputy Clyde Sawyer: Down in the lobby, I ran up against these two.
[indicates Toots and Curly]
Deputy Clyde Sawyer: Well, they didn't look right to me, so I asked them a few questions. By the way they answered me, I knew there was something fishy. So I put in a call to Ben Wade, but before I could get through, the lights went out on me. I woke up in there. Rocco was standing over me. I recognized him right away from the pictures. I made a break for the door, and the lights went out again.
Toots: I'm the electrician.
