zasad mi film drži mjesto najboljeg noira i najbolje bogartove pojave, iako ima drugih ostvarenja u kojima mu glumačke sposobnosti ipak nešto više dođu do izražaja (al eto, tu sam pala na cijeli stil). uz njega, priča, zaplet, rasplet, doza humora, tmurnosti i 'spetljanosti' u filmu su takve da će me sigurno natjerati da mu se opet vratim.

Složio bih se, stvarno odličan film. Sjećam se kada sam prije pokušavao sa noirima početi, ali nije išlo sve dok nisam naletio na Bogarta, Wildera i njegove noire te Hitcha i njegov Notorius

Osobno, Chinatown mi je broj 1 u tom žanru, ali i općenito
