İkinci Dünya savaşıyla birlikte yüzlerce ilk dönem ajan filmi olarak görülebilecek yapıtlar çıktı ki bir çoğunun şuan için hiçbir önemi yok. Ama aralarında Casablanka gibi, bu film gibi şahaserler de var. Bogart'ın alışık olduğumuz sert, cesur, zeki ve inatçı karakter tiplemesine devam ediyor. Hiçbir olaya bulaşmayı düşünmemesine rağmen Gestaponun yaptığı zulmü ve gaddarlığı gördükçe olayların içine dahada derinlemesine giriyor. Dönemin atmosferi çok başarılı yansıtılmış, oyuncu performansları dört dörtlük (özellikle Lauren Bacall bakışları insanın içine işliyor), senaryo tıkır tıkır işliyor, replikler ve yaratılan kişiler arası çatışma şahane, filmin tek eksisi tam tadına doyamadan çok çabuk bitiyor...
