If you are a diehard Bogie fan than you will have to see this, otherwise you will most likely find this to be a waste of your time.
Even a devoted Bogart fan like me was highly disappointed by this yawner. The way he is treated by the script and director could have only been done in this pre-Casablanca era.
At this point in his career, Bogart has established such a tough persona that this character and direction are beneath him.
Bogart must have been beside himself with the inept direction. The director's best work was behind him in Joe E. Brown comedies.
Putting Eddie Albert alongside Bogart as his co-star is like elevating Elisha Cook to Bogart's sidekick.
The ending is good and may have influenced a certain 1970s blockbuster.
The best part is the lions.
