This movie was criticized upon its release for being too much of a ripoff of Casablanca and that is very true.
This is a cheaper version of that classic and too similar.
But it is a must-see for the interactions of Bogart and Bacall, who famously fell in love on the set. There are a bunch of great lines in the script co-written by Faulkner based on a book by Hemingway.
It was directed by the great Howard Hawks, who directs some real great shots here. There are many memorable scenes.
In the end, it is a little too long, disjointed, and drags out too much, with some non-plausible scenes as well.
