As a film buff whose favorite film is Casablanca and who is very familiar with the great films of Michael Curtiz and his reported antics, this film was grossly disappointing and totally boring. Maybe if I spoke and read Hungarian I would have enjoyed it more. I really don't understand the point of having some of the main characters speaking Hungarian with no sub titles. If the point of the film was having the audience figure out what was going on from the dramatic effect, the film fell flat. The acting was good. The person that played Cuddles Sakall was on the mark. My anticipation in waiting to see this movie was short lived. I could not wait for it to be over.
