This is the Bogart that always is imitated but never duplicated. Listen to his voice as he delivers some striking and very funny, even off-color lines that somehow got passed the Hays censors.
Don't even try to follow the barrage of names and who did what to whom and why -- it's all part of the detective/film-noir shtick. Just enjoy the interplay between Bogart and Bacall -- and between Bogart and every other "dame" in the film.
The dialogue is sharp and the performances are worth watching.
