All Through the Night 08/29/26

We’ve rediscovered a new favorite from the Warner corral, a bright action comedy that raised spirits when America needed it most, fewer than 60 days after Pearl Harbor. It’s an all-star comic delight, acted stylishly by Humphrey Bogart and directed smartly by Vincent Sherman. With the congressional Isolationists finally backing down, Hollywood hit the fascists with morale-building caustic comedy. Add terrific characterizations by Conrad Veidt, & Peter Lorre, plus standout contributions from Judith Anderson, Phil Silvers, Edward Brophy and Martin Kosleck and Jackie Gleason:  “The first one of those guys I tag, I’m gonna kick him right in the swastika!”  On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
