This film may have been worth watching in 1945 but I could barely make it to the end.
shareToo bad for you! Do you feel the same about all other movies that focus on characterization and clever dialogue? Are you more "into" CGI-saturated action flicks, mad car chases, explosions and mindless gore? Not that there's anything wrong with that....
shareYour comment, wg, says more about you than the film.
The many thousands of people who have called this a great/fabulous/whatever superlative-you-want film outvote you considerably.
It is such a short film, with engaging dialog, with the main character caught in a most uncomfortable position trying to get the evil woman to let him go, that I don't see how you could find it boring--which is what you imply.
Al wasn't the brightest guy in the world, but he never tried to hurt anyone. In that regard, I watched this, the first time, rooting for him to succeed in his goals--getting together with the woman he loves and getting married.
I put myself in his place, thinking about how I might have avoided some of his mistakes, but wondering what I would do if his situation was mine. To me, there was nothing boring about it.

I'm really not into '30s or '40s movies, but I really enjoyed it.
