Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

alexanderdavies-99382 Humphrey Bogart battles a secret Nazi organisation in this 1942 comedy/thriller. Bogart was by now a star, courtesy of "The Maltese Falcon" movie from the previous year. "All Through the Night" is undemanding fun, intrigue and thrills all the way. Young actors like Phil Silvers and Jackie Gleason make early film appearances and for "Warner Bros" regular Frank McHugh, it was one of his last regular films. Bogart and his New York mob stumble upon a group of Nazis who plan to overthrow the city. There are many scenes involving skirmishes with the enemy and encounters with a pretty, young female. One of my favourite bits, is when Bogart and one of his men manage to escape the clutches of the Nazis by the skin of their teeth! Conrad Veidt makes for a marvellous villain and Peter Lorre is his usual creepy self! The pace enables this film to rattle along quite agreeably and there are some funny moments too.

LeonLouisRicci Your Enjoyment of this Movie will Depend on Your Tolerance for Blending very Serious Subject matters with Dated, Cringe Inducing Humor and Slapstick, all delivered at a Dizzying Pace. It can Work with Black Comedy, become Successful with Sophisticated Construction and not this Type of Silliness. The Three Stooges can pull it off because Their Outrageous Offerings are Not Obfuscated by Dramatizing.The Superstar Cast was probably ready to lend Their Talents to the Propaganda effort and They all seem to be "on" and give it Their All. But, the above mentioned Mix is a Bitter Sweet Dish of an Uncomfortable Union of a Cheer-Leading Chorus of Patriotism and a "Concentration Camp" Reality that was a Contemporary Suffering. It's a Worthy effort but as Entertainment it is best looked at as a Curio-So and a Manufactured Manifestation of Artistic Angst. The Reality was a Horror and a Nightmare that, at the time, was being Painfully Endured by Enemies of Fascism.

Michael_Elliott All Through the Night (1941) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Bizarre, silly and over the top picture from Warner has a racketeer (Humphrey Bogart) getting mixed up with a strange woman (Kaaren Verne) who just happens to be involved with a group of Nazis (Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre). Towards the end of the picture there's a joke involving Superman and that type of pulp adventure is what's best to expect when going into this film. I was really shocked to see so much humor thrown around considering the subject matter but this isn't your typical WWII flick. The movie mixes the gangster, spy and comedy genres fairly well and while the end results aren't a classic film, at the same time it's so original that you can't help but be entertained. I think the best thing going for the film is its cast even if a few of the members are underused. We get Bogart doing nice work as the tough guy we all love to see him play. He handles all the action scenes quite well and he even gets a few good one-liners. Veidt is rather stiff in his role but I mean that in a good way as his stern performance mixes up good against the humor in the film. Lorre doesn't get enough to do but he adds fun whenever he is on screen. Warner funny man Frank McHugh gets several good scenes and we can also spot a young Jackie Gleason in a supporting role. I really wasn't too thrilled with Verne who I found to be quite boring as she didn't add any chemistry to the film. None of the genres mixed in here work on their own but seeing them mashed together in one film at least keeps the thing moving even though it's incredibly silly. Nothing great and certainly not a classic but fans of Bogie will want to check it out.

gazzo-2 Great cast here-Bogie,Lorre, Veidt, Anderson, Phil Silvers(!) Jackie Gleason(!!) in early roles, character guys galore-Demarest, Frank Herbert, Barton Maclane, etc heck even the little bald hotel clerk, the chunky Santa like guy in the Auction audience and the varied Nazis all were in literally 100's of movies back when. You know'em all when you see'em.I saw this back to back w/ another similar propaganda flick from that era-Across the Pacific. Bogie nails the Nazis this time around, stopping a spy ring from blowing up a battle ship in NYC w/ a pack of dese, dem and dose type guys. You never Quite know how seriously to take this-what w/ the rather stereotyped Guido types on one hand and the Hitler salutes on the other. Much of this was tongue in cheek but noooooooot quite crossing into satire-land. There was a war on, after all.Couple of parts that make you cringe-the blonde gal is hit two or three times in the face, once for laughs(!) and they had a black valet shining Bogie's shoes and actually say, w/ a straight face-Things ain't as black as they seem-more or less. That-well it was hard to sit thru. You'd like to think they knew better.Do check it out though-it's (mostly) in fun and does move along quickly save for the last third, where it begins to wear out it's welcome. Bogie and Veidt esp. are worth the price of admission.*** outta ****
