I'm one of those who got confused by the plot, but the chemistry between Bogie and Bacall is already enough of a reason to give this film a try. I particularly love the accidental prank call scene to the police. :D 11 years 11 months ago -

There is a lot going on, but it's not as confusing as most say. My only trouble was the amount of names, but it does clear up.
Lauren Bacall was splendid.
@RWJ
Bogart isn't the best actor, no. He generally sticks to one character, but he's definitely good at what he does. Plus, he's always so likable, I think. Didn't enjoy him at all with my first introduction to him (Sabrina) and was confused to all the praise, but he really becomes more pleasing with each film. 12 years 9 months ago
