Rare essential cult comedy starring Humphrey Bogart as a smuggler working for a band of criminals who meet up with a pair of traveling newly-weds who are off to Africa in search of diamonds.
There are some plot twists, but the film takes its time a bit too much. A good film to watch just for appreciation, although not quite great. I'll tell you who is great, though: Peter Lorre re-united Bogart again 11 years after "Casablanca"!
4/5 stars.
