Trivia
The name of the French poet François Villon is mispronounced by Alan. In fact, Gabrielle has the right pronunciation, but he mispronounces it when she asks him what is the right pronunciation. See more »Goofs
When Mrs. Chisholm is telling Gabby about missed opportunities, she gets a reaction from Mr. Chisholm. At the end of the interaction, Mr. Chisholm rests his face on his open hand. When the angle changes in the next shot, his face is resting on his balled up fist and knuckles. See more »Quotes

This movie needs better spokespeople! So here goes: take Bogart, Howard, Davis. Classic story with modern undertones. Stage play that works on screen. Clever dialog. Bittersweet longing for a better place. Missed chances for love. Violent gangsters. Quaint desert cafes. Mix in blender: out comes a classic from 1936 which still tastes good today.
Don't miss it. You can't talk about American cinema until you've seen this one, too.
