This is not the most well-written script. Shame on you Leo Rosten of Yiddish Dictionary fame, if indeed you wrote some of this. However it is fascinating for all the famous actors in it. There is some racialism. The scene with the black valet "Saratoga" played by McDaniel, shining Bogart's shoes and being scolded for wearing his clothes is revealing of the times. To see Jackie Gleason in a bit part is disconcerting. Many others pop up, including Phil Silvers and William Demerest. Bogart and Lorre are handsomely young. On the other hand, the scene containing the toys, now antique, is very attention-grabbing for our times especially the action toys of the day. The simmering envy and anger of the unattractive Nazi woman (Dame Judith Anderson)after she is slapped,and her revenge is portrayed very dramatically, as in a Greek tragedy. The spy meeting is ridiculous. How the Nazis couldn't tell Bogart didn't know German, and was talking double-talk defies credibility. A very strange movie.
