Review of Across the Pacific (1942) by Scott M — 01 Sep 2008
An enjoyable yet throwaway suspense movie from John Huston and Humphrey Bogart (and a bunch of other actors from Maltese Falcon). Some good dialogue distinguishes this one from the many others, but today the movie seems very racist against the Japanese (Mr.
Leland = Mr. Rerand, Honolulu = Honoruru). I guess you can't fault it too much, this movie came out soon after Pearl Harbor, although I'm not sure if it had happened long enough before to affect the content of the movie.
Anyways, Bogart as Bogart is always somewhat entertaining, and there's plenty of good ole' Bogey here.
