More Bogart.....but not slick.

He is gritty and common.

I gotta say this is not my favourite Bogart film, but its a total must see for a film lover.

He slided into insanity and this explores the power of greed.

The lure of wealth and the happiness we will give up to get it.

I watched this shortly after the crash of the US economy and all i could think was that nothing has changed.

People will do anything to get their own, and this movie dives deep into it.
