    • Quotes

      Richard Mason: Mutton? What's he getting mutton for? We're going out to dinner.

      Kathryn Mason: We're having mutton tomorrow.

      Richard Mason: I don't like mutton.

      Kathryn Mason: I don't know why you say such a thing. I've seen you eat it a thousand times.

      Richard Mason: A thousand times I told you I don't like it.

      Kathryn Mason: Nonsense, it's all your imagination. You can eat anything if you put your mind to it.

      Richard Mason: I don't eat with my mind, I eat with my stomach.

    Bogart and Greenstreet...You Can't Beat 'Em
    This may not be one of Bogart's best, in fact not even close to his best....but his pairing with Sidney Greenstreet makes it worth watching. There is something magical about the manner in which these two actors mesh that is seldom seen in film. Bogart is Bogart, always the tight lipped hero or villain with the clipped speech and slight chip on his shoulder. Greenstreet is the jolly fat man who hides behind that facade, either evil or cunning or both. Two actors with different personas which play perfectly against each other. They are seldom on the same side and although initially, in this film, they appear to be, the tables turn as the film progresses. The story is not a new one....man kills wife...or so he thinks....is she dead or isn't she? The ending is fairly predictable but it still holds your interest. Alexis Smith, as the target of Bogart's affections, is tall, coldly beautiful and rather detached....she does not seem vulnerable enough and can't seem to make up her mind about her feelings for Bogart's character. Watch this film for the exchanges between Bogart and Greenstreet...that's what it is all about. They make the rest of it worthwhile.
