I actually prefer this one to the Bogart original! The third remake they did with Audie Murphy isn't too shabby either. I guess this Hemingway fella knew a thing or two about storytelling. You're right, the ending is absolutely crackerjack. John Huston pretty much redid it with Bogart (again) for Key Largo!

John Garfield is one of the best actors of any generation!

Thanks for that Jim. I sometimes wonder if I sound like a rambling madman.

Spot on review! I found this film to be deeper and more rewarding because it avoids the troupes noir is synonymous with, as you mention. Being overshadowed by Garfield’s other seminal noirs, in terms of notoriety and acclaim, I came to this with lowered expectations, thinking it might be second tier. But I was very wrong and think it is his best performance and a real gem of a film. Up there at the top of my list of rich and rewarding noirs. A keeper in your purge towards a collection of films you truly love, I would think.

Oh absolutely, this demands to stay in the collection.
