If you can get past the painted backdrops and interminable tumbleweed, there's some smart banter, a sweet romance, and a surprising ending.

Huch of what's on display here evokes a society on the decline.

The two dissimilar parts of the film coalesce nicely to form a riveting whole.

Even though Humphrey Bogart clearly had not yet refined his inimitable persona, he remains the lone bright spot in a windbag drama of romantic fatalism in which the stagey, soliloquized pontification feels endless even as bullets pelt the plaster.
