The plot follows the celebrated Bogart, Astor, Greenstreet, and Lorre version of the film quite closely, and this makes it easy and fun to look for parallels and differences. Had it not been for that, I would not have chosen to sit through the whole inept film, so poorly acted and directed i often felt I was watching a not very competent high school play.
I don't believe the art of acting was sorudimenyary back then , so I place the blame on the film. Or maybe it's just me, since some reviewers actually liked it. But it was sad to see zingers from the script of the famous version of the film fall totally flat in this version. For me the entertainment value of the film came from seeing how badly it did what was so well done.just ten years later.
