"I hate mudders."

Fun WB comedy with Humphrey Bogart playing a gangster who blackmails piano player Jeffrey Lynn into hiding him out at his mother's boarding house. The boarding house is full of colorful characters such as Zasu Pitts, Felix Bressart, Grant Mitchell, and Una O'Connor. Not to mention beautiful Ann Sheridan. Before long Bogie gets the bright idea to turn the place into a night club, in part out of boredom and in part to impress Sheridan.

Bogie seems to be having a great time in a lighter role. He was really good with comedy. Sheridan is the real star of the picture. Her brassy character has all the best lines and even gets to sing some songs. The assorted kooks at the boarding house are lots of fun to watch. Great comedic character actors all. Even Jeffrey Lynn shines in this one. If you like WB gangster movies you'll surely like this. Lots of snappy dialogue and plenty of laughs too.

Trivia
For the 1945 re-release print, Warner Bros. changed the opening credits order for their new star Humphrey Bogart, now listing him above Ann Sheridan before the title and moving Jeffrey Lynn to the "With" cast after the title. The end credits, however, were kept in their original order.

Goofs
At the 17 minute mark after Bogart stands up from the bed, the boom mic shadow moves across his hat.

Quotes
Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: Can you imagine? He was going to make me a torch singer. He took me into his studio and after about five minutes I said, "Yeah, well, I've never heard this called an audition before." He followed me home in a taxi cab. Yeah, and with a gat too!
[Throws gun onto table]
Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: As if I didn't know how to handle a monkey with a gat!
Miss Flint: The man who followed me...?
Sarah Jane Ryan aka Sal: He said he wanted to discover me. Me! Why, I've been discovered so many times they call me Miss America.
