Great Comment by George Raft: "Most of my money, I spent on women, gambling and booze. The rest I spent foolishly".

It's Casablanca with less plot, less humor, and fewer characters. 'B' movie goodness.

I don’t get all the criticism about George Raft’s acting 🎭 being more cardboard than usual. That’s what appeals to me the most about George Raft’s performances. I find him quite droll and I love ❤️ that about his performances. For me it’s a welcome 🙏🏻 break from all of the terrible reality of what’s happening in our world 🌎 today. 🌎🌎🌎🌎

It's wierd. I also have only 4 fingers on my right hand. And also one thumb.

[@daleangell941]

What a classic spy Thriller. It's got it all. foreign land, secret messages, fortune telling, knives in the back, mickies and hot foreign dames.

[@johnroff1941]

A quite good film. Interesting that it made a year before the war started. Algerian war of independence. Also, i noting that cars in those days how the doos opened. Seems the more natural way to get out of a car. Why were doors on cars changed?

"HE has only FOUR fingers on his right hand"...well, that narrows it down to about...2,640,278,797 people. (1953)

Young Irene Papas in the bathtub 😊

FOUR FINGERS : Technically, we ALL have four fingers on BOTH hands, with opposable thumbs. {lol}

George Raft turned down Casablanca 🤔🤔🤔

[@mishrakaushik1]

Nothing like an old spy thriller. So many characters and twists in the first 20 minutes, it makes a dull life worth living.

[@mishrakaushik1]

There is excitement whenever a nightclub is introduced in a film noir/black and white movie.

The soundtrack is brilliant. Different sounds and instruments. Always loved George❤

"I'm not going to sprout any wings, but I can live with myself." - great line

George Raft was not only a competent actor he was an excellent dancer and a real veteran also a real ladies man. After his extensive acting career he became a movie producer heading a major studio. He appeared in movies from the 30s until the early 70s.

The precisely engineered kissing scenes crack me up. Don't blink or else you'll miss them.
