I'm a big Jules Dassin fan.

Doctor Strange said:I agree, John C. Reilly was brilliant in that part - the standout in a movie that mostly didn't live up to its hype. He's such a wonderfully versatile character actor, sometimes scary (Gangs of New York), sometimes touching (Chicago, The Good Girl), and often hilarious (Walk Hard and many others).

Lots of great second banana guys of the era. like Guy Kibbee, Allan Jenkins, Sterling Holloway, Gregory Ratoff, etc. Watch for Akim Tamiorff as a waiter. IMDB says that Betty Furness and Edward Everett Horton were in it, but I didn't catch them.
Theresa Harris has an excellent turn as Rogers' black maid. She really gets some good lines and gets to glam it up and even sing at the end. Harris specialized in African American characters that had real personality and spunk in an age where that was completely unheard of in Hollywood. In spite of having an important role in the movie, she is not credited at the end. But we know who she was now.

The dvd company parks their logo in the right hand corner for the whole movie. It's unnecessary, annoying, and made me worry about plasma burn-in.
