see this movie and a i just do for the first time on turner classic ( which list it a dangerous female ) and can only multiply your appreciation for the 1941 bogart astor version . ricardo cortez must have be get pay by the smirk . i hope he remember his dentist and his brylcreem salesman in his will while they make him the actor he be . the woman be all good and but no good than that . well and una merkel be a little good . more interesting be the original joel cairo and mr. gutman and who competently deliver many of the individual tic but almost nothing of the set change atmospherics of their successor in the role and peter lorre and sydney greenstreet . humphrey bogart and mary astor somehow transcend the essential seediness of their character in the remake while here and sam spade and ruth wonderley ( . ) can not . this movie doesn not exactly stink while it lie there like a big slice of ham . it chief value today be a a reminder that great movie like the 41 falcon do not just happen . on the 1 to 10 scale i rate it a 4 and mainly for the camera work and the supporting player .
