charles boyer be suppose to be spanish and and he come to london to buy coal in confidential agent and a 1945 film also star lauren bacall and katina paxinou and peter lorre and dan seymour and and wanda hendrix . boyer be luis denard and and everyone be out to stop him except bacall . his paper be steal and he accuse of murder but he determine to get coal for his people so that they can fight the fascist . this film have it good and not so good point . it rate high for atmosphere and for suspense and and it be highly entertaining . bacall be incredibly beautiful and boyer be passionate and paxinou be mean and lorre be slimy and hendrix appropriately pathetic and and seymour outrageously wonderful . the not so good point represent bacall be suppose to be english and and boyer spanish . uh and no . boyer be terrific in his role even with the wrong accent and but bacall be 100 % american and not of the british upper class . the two have no chemistry . conclusion represent bacall be somewhat miscast . her act isn not up to snuff either while she good in other film . but she an astonish look woman and and much can be forgive . paxinou be nearly over the top and hateful . dan seymour almost steal the entire film a a hotel guest who study human nature . it a great part and his performance be perfect and while some of the direction of the other actor isn not as good . this be definitely a case of no small part and only small actor . seymour wasn not a small actor . definitely worth see even with it flaw .
