Audiences have always loved the spectacle of tough guys going soft and gooey, and We're No Angels adds the extra sweetener of Yuletide to its mix. The action takes place on Devil's Island, the tropical backwater where the notorious French prison was located. Three convicts, played by Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray, and Peter Ustinov, have escaped, and wait only for a ship to leave the next day. In the meantime, they become involved in the financial woes of an island shopkeeper (Leo G. Carroll) and his wife (Joan Bennett) and daughter, whose business is in danger from a rich, nasty relative (Basil Rathbone). Despite the threat of black comedy, especially in the form of a poisonous viper (which Ray carries around in a demure bamboo case), broad cuteness tends to rule the day. While it's not on the list of essential Bogart performances, Bogie does seem to be enjoying himself, and the puckish Ustinov savors his lines like a cow chewing grass. The stage origins of the scenario are all too obvious, and probably contribute to the pokey pacing (Michael Curtiz, who guided Bogart in Casablanca, was perhaps not the ideal choice for this kind of winsome comedy). This 1955 film looks good in comparison to the loose, labored 1989 remake with Robert De Niro and Sean Penn. --Robert Horton

We're no Angels August 30, 2008
Elfriede Rucker (Huntsville, Al USA)
This is one of my favorite movies. It is a family movie, good to watch around christmas. In this movie Bogart is different from his usual tough guy movies. Peter Ustinov is wonderful as always, so are Aldo Ray and Joan Bennett.
All around a great movie, lots of fun!
Bogart can be funny May 11, 2008
Cary Grant (USA)
This comedy is sentimental, sad and funny. Bogart expresses considerable ironic humor, attacking greed and commercialism while responding to people's warmth and kindness. The other characters performed quite well, including the hero of the story, a smnall snake. I enjoyed every minute of it.

One of Boggie's most entertaining films, it follows three escaped convicts from Devil's Island played by Bogart, Aldo Rey and Peter Ustinov. Set at christmas time, the three esscapees find there way into shop to steal clothes and provisions only to be drawn into the shop keeper and his families lives. Truly entertaining, it will make you feel good.
A Christmas Favorite February 19, 2008

This film has been a Christmas Tradition at our house for years, the old Video Tape finally had enough and it was time to move to the DVD. Not your typical Bogey film, but has a great cast and I couldn't imagine anyone else in the roles.
