Bill Wrobel's DVD - Film Score Rundowns

sleazy role, and Greenstreet continues his same persona character, in effect. Bergman and
Bogie have good chemistry together, but nothing like Bogie and Bacall! I am more of a
Bacall fan than a Bergman fan, anyway. But Bergman was very pretty back then! This
two-disc set has many admirable special features, including a nice commentary by Roger
Ebert before his major cancer surgery.
The music by Max Steiner is very good but I do not consider it a masterpiece
work penned by this composer, but because of the indelible association with the movie
itself, often people consider the score equally important. I’ll give it a four-star “classic”
rating, nevertheless.
