Did You Know?

Goofs:
Errors in geography: The movie supposedly plays ON Devil's Island (it's superimposed in the establishing shot at the very beginning) and Ducotel's general store is located in Cayenne (it's mentioned several times), the capital of French Guiana. However, Devil's Island exclusively was a penal colony with no civilian settlement, and Cayenne lies on the mainland coast, approximately 50 miles east of Kourou, the closest mainland town to Devil's Island.See more »
Quotes:
Joseph:I'm going to buy them their Christmas turkey.
Albert:"Buy"? Do you really mean "buy"?
Joseph:Yes, buy! In the Spirit of Christmas. The hard part's going to be stealing the money to pay for it.

One of my all time favorite movies, 22 January 2001
Author: murrs2kool from San Diego, CA, USA

The humor is understated and quite droll with some brilliant moments. Peter Ustinov's expressions and nuances are priceless and Humphrey Bogart is very funny because he plays it straight. The last half hour is hysterical.
