Nothing like an old spy thriller. So many characters and twists in the first 20 minutes, it makes a dull life worth living.

I like George Raft very much. I like his acting style.He always seems to be in a good movie.

Great Comment by George Raft: "Most of my money, I spent on women, gambling and booze. The rest I spent foolishly".

George Raft made a lot of great gangster movies but my favorite non-gangster one was, "Bolero".
He becomes one of the top Tango dancers in the world.
It's great and Raft is the one really doing the dancing.

I really liked the movie "Baby". Thanks for posting this great George Raft picture....

As a kid in the 50's, I always enjoyed George Raft's movies, ( some were shown as "B" or second films!)
You always knew that you would get "your money's worth", even if the "A" film wasn't that great! R.I.P. George!

George Raft was not only a competent actor he was an excellent dancer and a real veteran also a real ladies man. After his extensive acting career he became a movie producer heading a major studio. He appeared in movies from the 30s until the early 70s.

Irene Papas is so young here and what a beauty!

Of late, I've discovered that I enjoy coffee even more than alcohol. Was never a big drinker anyway. It's really the company of good friends I enjoy more. Coffee really is a social lubricant. These old films depict for me, old man bars and cafes. While just a film set, the atmosphere of sad, small out of the way places is appealing. Arab coffee is said to be very good.

"I'm not going to sprout any wings, but I can live with myself." - great line

The precisely engineered kissing scenes crack me up. Don't blink or else you'll miss them.

As an antique dealer, I love to pause and examine the rooms - furniture, lamps, art . There was a hay-hook hanging
on a painting for some reason. And the exquisite wardrobes, of the women especially. Such elegance!

Thank you for the movie! Film noir is my favourite genre, and this one has it all :)

There is excitement whenever a nightclub is introduced in a film noir/black and white movie.

It had it all... cheesy dialogue, predictable clichés, thinnest plot imaginable - but for schlock, it was decent enough... it had its charm. Definitely the type of movie you either throw popcorn at the screen or you're too busy hot and heavy with your date to be worried about things like story and entertainment value. I sat through the whole damn thing and didn't get too drunk.
