	Media	Author	Review
		Variety Staff Variety	"A breezy and fast-paced melodrama. Huston directs deftly from thrill-packed script by Macauley."
		Time Out	"Slow to begin, this accelerates into a fine, noir-ish thriller (...) The real delight is the wisecracking relationship between Bogart and Astor"
		Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"With these deceptive characters, with excellent dialogue and realistic mise en scéne, Mr. Huston has given the Warners a delightfully fear-jerking picture. It's like having a knife at your ribs for an hour and a half."
		Adrian Turner Radio Times	"What happens is purely formulaic, and enjoyable only because of the interplay between Bogart, Greenstreet and Mary Astor (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
