I watched this entertaining Bogie movie on TCM today, and hadn't heard of it before. Like another famous 1942 Warner Bros. film, this one also features Conrad Veidt and Peter Lorre, as well as Judith Anderson, and relative newcomers Phil Silvers and Jackie Gleason. I think this one came out earlier in the year than "Casablanca," but I'm not positive.
For a comedy-thriller, it wasn't too shabby, if you take it for what it is. The patriotic propanganda is not as subtle as in "Casablanca." The dialogue has some good zings, and the scene with Bogie bluffing his way through a Nazi spy meeting was hilarious.
Here's another film I hope they release on DVD.
