B (Good).
The devil brings a dead gangster back to Earth, hoping to upset the life of a good man.
This is a deeply weird movie, with a surprising amount of thought and care put into its script but no fucks given about audience expectations.

People are held hostage at a desert diner.
Good. It's fun, despite being a tragedy with a central character disposed to give philosophical speeches. I've seen Bogart in more good movies than I can remember, but I think this is the first time I've seem him really improve a movie.

2024 movie #25. 1937 Cheerful auto plant machinist (Bogart) gets passed over for promotion to foreman for a Pole. He turns bitter and joins the Black Legion which torments and sometimes kills, foreigners. Based on actual events in the mid-West. Issues raised still relevant today.
C+ (Okay).
The Marx Brothers vs. fugitive Nazi treasure hunters.
There's one really great scene. The rest of the movie is also there, at best copying their earlier movies.
