I have long held a fantasy about this picture. One day, Jack Warner wandered into his studio commissary, noticed all these contract players sitting around drinking coffee and screamed, 'Get 'em all into a movie...NOW!' I submit: Jackie Gleason William Demarest Frank McHugh Wally Ford Peter Lorre Conrad Viedt Judith Anderson James Burke Not enough? OK, how about: Jane Darwell Karen Verne Hansel, the dog Barton McLain All The Ones I Forget

This has GOT to be as fun a movie to watch as any ever made.

Chasing Nazi 'Fivers' through Manhattan...they don't even make it to Brooklyn! Gloves, Humphrey Bogart, and his boys show the Hun they can't do in New York what they could in Berlin. Yes, it's propaganda with a capital 'P'; but its fun with a capital 'F'. One of my favourite Bogart movies.
