Bogie's role was not really unsympathetic unless you happen to be a Francophile. This can be looked at as a prequel to Casablanca. Harry is very much like a young Rick would have been in 1925. Problem is, Bogie is 10 years older and is basically playing Rick as he was in the 20's. The woman is,though, one of the most unsympathetic creatures ever in films. High maintenance, manipulative, out for everything she can get wherever she can get it. Damn sexy too. Not by any means a great picture but if you like Bogie and you like older films, it is worth a summer night.

Love with a Perfect Stranger
(1986 TV Movie)
Marilu Movie
3 June 2002
Chic Flick, unbelievable, overly romantic, standard 80's soap. But, it has Marilu and if you are at all familar with the wonderful Miss Henner, the movie is worth a watch. And, since she falls for an old fart, there is hope for all of us.
