well said tram.
this film wasnt racist by any means. It was an average film and I could agree with OP it was somewhat dull, and mary astor sure doesnt bring out any of Bogie's sass or brash that he is famous for.. There were MANY propaganda films like this that were decent, all through the night - another Bogie flick..
Mary Astor just doesnt do it for me in any of her roles, nor is she pleasant to the eye, even in Maltese Falcon, a huge classic, twas all Bogie. Had The Falcon had Ann Sheridan, Bette Davis, etc.. it would have been even bigger with more sex appeal..
