Bogey rules.....but this slightly later film is not up to his 1940s standards
By roncoach (365 reviews) from suffolk , 01 Sep 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Run-of-the-mill stuff by a director who thought he could cast Bogey as a nightclub owner and make another 'Casablanca'.
Idiot LOL !
But it's still a Bogey film so no review of mine will give it less than the 3* mark----that would almost be like insulting one of the giants of the silver screen who left us with so many memorable moments and great films. A true legend----they don't make filmstars like Bogey anymore, sadly.
This isn't a bad film. Give it a go......but don't expect the great icon to be starring in something too special.- Was this review helpful to you?

Even the best actors make mistakes
By barbi (150 reviews) from Salisbury , 05 Apr 2008I've always been a bit of a Humphrey Bogart fan, but if I'd seen this film first I wouldn't have been.
It's a monotonous tale of a gunrunner in Syria (Bogart) and two French army officers with conflicting views of life, and it meanders its way through a complicated but very boring plot line with some very wooden acting of the sort rarely seen since the worst of British B movies in the 1930s. A stunning example of this came from leading actress Marta Toren, who seemed to have no chemistry with anybody.
Possibly Bogie's side step into production as opposed to just acting contributed something to this over long film, which does indeed have a few good moments, and I don't just mean the closing credits.
For gunrunners, look at Nicolas Cage in Lord of War; for the French army and Africa, see Days of Glory, but don't, if you can possibly help it, see this one, though it's quite good for insomnia.- Was this review helpful to you?

not the greatest Bogey film
By westlondon (5 reviews) from London, England , 08 Sep 2007Rather slow moving and infuriatingly so. YES it has the great humprey bogart in it but the plot and Lee J Cobb's stiff acting made it a comedy that I had not anticipated. Worth a look if you want to be ironic- Was this review helpful to you?
