Trivia
Green chartreuse is a potent French liquer produced by the Carthusian order of monks. The characteristic green color is used to describe vivid greens of its hue.

Goofs
The movie supposedly plays on Devil's Island (It's superimposed in the establishing shot at the very beginning.) and Ducotel's general store is located in Cayenne (It's mentioned several times.), the capital of French Guiana. However, Devil's Island exclusively was a penal colony with no civilian settlement, and Cayenne lies on the mainland coast, approximately 50 miles east of Kourou, the closest mainland town to Devil's Island.

Quotes
Joseph: We came here to rob them and that's what we're gonna do - beat their heads in, gouge their eyes out, cut their throats. Soon as we wash the dishes.

A film with charm to spare

I stumbled upon We're No Angels one night on AMC. I found that I couldn't leave the TV. I enjoyed the three likeable convicts and discovered that Humphrey Bogart has a knack for light comedy. Peter Ustinov is very deadpan and as a result, some of the best lines come from his character. Aldo Ray is the sweet dumb guy with a heart of gold and a rather dangerous pet. Basil Rathbone is great as the guy you love to hate. A great cast, a good script and good direction by Michael Curtiz makes this a classic.
