A movie that really upped the expectations for any future suspense films. I love the fast-paced wit of the dialogue and nearly flawless performances. Humphrey Bogart is magnificent in this, his attitude towards everyone just makes his character cool. Also how could I not mention the wonderful Sydney Greenstreet, the portly ringleader of the international criminal treasure hunters. He creates such a detailed, unforgettable character. This story of greed and the lure of a fortune, and what certain types of people will do to get it, is truly everlasting.
