Yet another fantastic movie of Bogie. Bogie plays a detective, Sam Spade, with a certain degree of moral flexibility while still trying to cling to a mostly forgotten code of honour. Mary Astor plays the utterly immoral Brigid, whose only rule is to look out for herself. I believe this was Sydney Greenstreet's debut movie and he does a superb rendition of a master criminal (Apparently the atomic b... read more

" Five by Five project, recommended by jaytoast March 25th: DVD, computer Overall opinion: Good Full disclosure, I knew the ending of this movie a long time before I saw it. :( I read somewhere recently that spoilers enhances your enjoyment of a movie, and I call bullshit because I still regret not getting the full effect of the movie. That being said I still enjoyed it. I don't always enjoy Bogart, but this time his rough kind of charm got to me and I really enjoyed him in this. His gradual"
