We're No Angels (1955 film) We're No Angels (1955 film) We're No Angels is a 1955 Christmas comedy film starring an ensemble cast of Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov, Aldo Ray, Joan Bennett, Basil Rathbone, and Leo G. Carroll. Shot in both VistaVision and Technicolor, the Paramount Studios production was directed by Michael Curtiz, who had directed Bogart in "Casablanca" when both were under contract to Warner Brothers. It is one of Bogart's rare comedies. The screenplay was written by Ranald MacDougall, based on the play "My Three Angels" by Samuel and Bella Spewack, which itself was based upon the French play "La Cuisine Des Anges"
Humphrey Bogart and "is the kind of Prussian German with a riding crop. He is the type of director I don't like to work with ... the picture is a crock of crap. I got sick and tired of who gets Sabrina." Wilder later claimed, "We parted as enemies but finally made up." Despite the acrimony, the film was successful. "The New York Times" crowed that Bogart was "incredibly adroit ... the skill with which this old rock-ribbed actor blends the gags and such duplicities with a manly manner of melting is one of the incalculable joys of the show."
