a con name vincent ( bogart ) break out of prison to be befriend by a woman ( bacall ) who sympathize with his case which be akin to her father . he get a new face and try to discover who really kill his wife and then his best friend . this be a rather tedious and unoriginal movie and with none of the snappy and quick dialogue that film of this era often display . it slow pace linger on humdrum scene and repeat unimportant information such a vincent doctor advice and fairly predictable and even unintentionally comic ( the silly anesthesia scene ) . the first half of the movie and we do not see vincent while instead we see the action from his eye . perhaps that be interest then and but i felt it add nothing to the movie . morehead and a the dead wife shewish friend ( this be one of those movie where the good guy act predictably good and and the villain act only nasty ) chew the scenery something awful in her confrontation scene with bogie . good acting by bogie and bacall and plus some scene with a delightfully bullying thug and help save the film from be a total waste . 4/10 .
