A weird but hugely entertaining blend of styles and genres, part philosophical drama and part gangster thriller, with Leslie Howard looking like a confused escapee from a drawing room comedy, completely at odds with his gritty surroundings. Bogie’s first big part, too, and he’s absolutely magnetic, as is Bette Davis as the innocent but determined female lead.
