While I am a die-hard Humphrey Bogart fan, I will be the first to admit that he could NOT play every role. After all, who can? Well, some studio dunderhead apparently though that he'd be perfect to play in a Western as some sort of heavy--complete with cheesy mustache and silly accent! Now it's nice to see an actor try to broaden his appeal, but this is ridiculous! And the sight of him looking kind of like Snidely Whiplash and a cowboy combined is amazing! Because of his poor performance (and who can blame him?), this movie sinks to mediocrity despite decent writing and direction. In fact, unless you are a fan or want a good laugh, it is a very forgettable movie that is eminently skip-able.
