Summary

Widely regarded as the first film noir, John Huston’s directorial debut establishes the genre’s archetypes and features a star-making performance by Humphrey Bogart and great work by Peter Lorre, Mary Astor and Sydney Greenstreet in supporting roles. Highlighted by whip-smart dialogue, moody sets and crackerjack direction.
