Gerald Mohr looked and sounded like he was intended as a knock-off version of Bogart. What was the deal with the open-shirt scenes? His chest was about as attractive as the underside of a sturgeon.
I'm surprised that Mystery Science Theater never did a show about this one.

Especially on radio, where Mohr played "Phillip Marlowe"for many years, Mohr was as big as they come. But if you check out his IMDB page, you will see that he never lacked for work.
But for what it is worth, the first time I probably ever saw him was in this movie, and I did a double take wondering how they got Bogie in this relative clunker.
Don't recall specifically, but it seems to me Mohr died fairly young. But in any event, I think he was generally considered to be handsome (which Bogie wasn't) and the Bogie looks probably hurt him as much as they helped. Anyway, he was a good guy from what I can tell.

God, I got tired of seeing that guy's gross chest hair and ribs through his skin. And he had a very unhealthy looking smile, too. Brrr! Sick. While watching this movie, I was wondering if I was extremely straight because I got tired of that guy's chest, or was it just universally unappealing to all sexes.

His co star 'Irish' is quoted as saying he was 'arrogant and very nasty' during filming.
I imagine the tar and nicotine breath in her face wasn't pleasant either
