New York gangsters vs. Nazi spies.

Good. It's too long, but pretty delightful when it's good. I didn't even know they made action comedies in the 40's.

2022 movie #150. 1942. Bogart plays a high stakes gambler in NYC who's favorite baker is found dead. This leads him to a nest of Nazi sympathizers planning to blow up a ship in the harbor. Bogart was his charmingly best in this, somewhat serious and somewhat comedic, movie.
Interesting and honest autobiography, well worth reading. Enlightening section about how Robinson suffered as a result of being blacklisted.
