Other than it being too loud, inappropriate to the scenes, pedestrian, and uninspired, it was "brilliant". Also, it's too bad the costume budget was spent on cigarettes, and women's furs for frigid Algiers temperatures, so that George only had one suit to wear during the whole film.

Of late, I've discovered that I enjoy coffee even more than alcohol. Was never a big drinker anyway. It's really the company of good friends I enjoy more. Coffee really is a social lubricant. These old films depict for me, old man bars and cafes. While just a film set, the atmosphere of sad, small out of the way places is appealing. Arab coffee is said to be very good.

@@higgsmerino3925 Raft, in 1937, was the third-highest-paid star in Hollywood (behind Gary Cooper and Warner Baxter), earning $202,666. He made well over 80 movies in his career, and launched Bogart's career by turning down roles in Casablanca, High Sierra, and The Maltese Falcon. For a professional dancer, I figure he was a fairly successful actor.

He’s more like a G-Man” than an actual actor!

There is a lot of comment on actor George Raft. He is a "cheap imitation" of James Cagney. (Everybody is.) The Gangster genre started with Edward G. Robinson. In his film "Little Caesar". BUT, Cagney quickly took the lead. Becoming America's Favorite actor. The TOP Box-office draw for 3 years in a row. A feat only ever duplicated by one other. Shirley Temple, the greatest child star of all time.

@@charlescohen6140 Not true, Jack Warner (Warner Bros) wanted Raft but the Producer Hal B Wallis wanted Bogart, and it was in Wallis' contract that HE chose the star, so Warner relented. : )

Yes, I thought the same re his health. If the film was 1954, Raft was about 60 years old and dealing with emphysema. Yet, he lived to 80 and was still doing interviews! In numerous bios I have read, many celebrities from that era died early from excessive tobacco use.

It turned to be a pretty decent movie, although "Look! Over there!" was not an especially promising opening line.

Slight continuity error: George gets worked over by the Fez brothers, resulting in a big bandage over his left eye. Next scene, he encounters the Big Babe, and she asks, "What happened to you?" - but there's no bandage in sight! A couple scenes later, he walks outside, and there it is again!
