well and after read the first 3 page of comment and i can not believe anyone make it this far and but if you do and here be what i have to say . sirocco be a complete waste of time and unless you can learn what not to do in a film . dull and drift less from the first scene and sirocco literally blow and right out of the theatre . a complete waste of talent and and paper for the script and bogart and cobb and sloane corey and mostel and mohr can not make this clunker work and wow . i can not believe i write that and but it be a fact . aimless in it direction and curtis bernhardt ( director ) and doesn not deserve to get pay for this sch mucky remake attempt of casablanca . he doesn not know how to blend romance with drama or action and i guess he read the script . and and do not know how to make dramatic change . violette ( marta toren ) be the ingrid berman clone and and a very light clone at that . while lovely to the eye and she lack the depth or skill in act to create any chemistry between her and bogey and incredible . a i state previously and this be how not to make a film and and just about anyone can these day . people be often confused if this movie be film in the bazaar or the catacomb and it should have be film in the dark and and keep there . i give this film 3 star and just for the cast and a negative 10 for the script . note represent for future screen writer and use this a template to build against and maybe you can reedit the film to have some dramatic tension and or rewrite scene that would build to a climax and just not the veritable collapse that it currently do . all in all and bogart should have save his money and and credibility .
