but it worth watch for boyer and lorre and paxinou . greene entertainment that be film during the war either require transplant to american shore and as in this gun for hire and or the use of american actor in role where they do not fit . bacall fit that part here . i keep wait for her to whistle and bring bogie to life while her tone of voice be simply all wrong for an upper class englishwoman . but listen to the dialogue . no and people do not talk that way except in book and but greene be send a message about an england that need to wake up to the danger of the world . one other positive note represent greene range of character be kept whole . while mr. mukerjee resemble more a brahamin and at least his nationality be keep and and his final conversation with paxinou be priceless .
