Finally saw this now political intrigue

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2020)

This is a case of political intrigue but done with some vibrancy the way Michael Curtiz can eek out of this ensemble, the way he does in Adv. of Robin Hood and Dodge City. Basically it's about the friendship between Rick and Louie as if this has not been mentioned cheesillion times. Also figures Rick would have been in other 'wars' it's like every protagonist must have some 'war' background. If you're the audience for this type of movie, melodrama interspersed with great quips, political intrigue but done interestingly (unlike in politicized westerns like Santa Fe Trail, Duck you Sucker) then this is for you. Also Passage to Marseilles. As for this flick, it's a mix of those elements and utilizing the often cinematic desert for that 'intrigue.' Dope.
