Yeah - this one was good!

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2017)

Being a late boomer on old movies, I've recently started watching some of them. I saw "Casablanca" for the first time about a month ago, and I basically thought it sucked. It was boring, and IMO, Bogart's acting in that movie just wasn't very good.
I'd always heard about how this one was a great movie, though I was worried that Bogart's acting would be sub-par in it as well. In short - I feared another "Casablanca".
Boy was I wrong!
THIS was a great movie. Bogie really did deliver the goods in this one, and though it wasn't a huge part, Jose Ferrer was absolutely nails. Great acting in the rest of it as well, and it was a surprise to me to see Fred MacMurray play the part of a loser.
Probably would have given it a 10 had it not been for the few strays of Keith's love life, and the toy ship in the typhoon was a little bit silly - but hey - it was 1954, so they did what they could.
Great, great movie.
