Ah, the burden of it all

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2003)

I always liked Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman (in the right film) but nevertheless I rate this film as one of the worst ever made. All you have to do is listen to the dialog and think about the plot and I'm sure you'll have to agree. Every situation in this film manipulates the audience to feel pathos for this starcrossed pair. I'm only
surprised they didn't invent a worldwide law that somehow would prohibit the two from being together. It's that absurd. It also would
have helped if the two principles had some chemistry between them. These two act like each word they say to the other is going to somehow determine life and death. The malarkey about Ingrid's husband (who apparently is the ONLY person who can save the world) being nonfunctional without her is probably the biggest nonsense the viewer must swallow. I laugh everytime I see portions of this film. It's unintentionally hilarious.
