'I'm the kind of guy who likes to get his mail'


So yes, the movie does recycle a lot of other Bogie movies and Liz Scott standing in for Lauren Bacall is disconcerting, but Bogie's still Bogie saying lines like the subject header.

A third of the way in it might hit you: Gee, how come this movie is not as famous as Bogie's others? And the rest of the 2/3 depict why - looks like at least 5 writers were involved with this in some way and they all seemed to put in their favorite Bogie tropes... It's almost like a greatest hits flick for him, or as they used to do on variety shows, a melody that blends all the hit songs together so it ends up sounding like just one bland song...

Still a must-see for Bogie fans- he dials it up in his utterly unique persona...
