It’s surprising to see Bogart in a comedic role, and he handles it well. Joseph, Julius, and Albert manage to escape from Devil's Island, and while awaiting transport off the island, they devise a plan to rob the kind Ducotel family. They convince store owner Felix to let them fix his roof, using this as their base for the heist. However, as they observe the family, they begin to notice genuinely good qualities within them. Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray, and Peter Ustinov play these villains who unexpectedly develop softer sides, all supported by clever dialogue in a well-written script, making it an entertaining film for everyone. The movie largely succeeds due to the dynamic between Ustinov and Bogart; Ustinov’s Jules is quiet and gentle, which contrasts nicely with Bogart's gruff and tough Joseph, creating some memorable and amusing moments. There's even a scene featuring Bogart wearing a pink apron! Aldo Ray seems somewhat out of sync with the rest of the cast, appearing overshadowed by the talent around him, but he fulfills his role adequately, and his character’s pet snake, Adolphe, is an important element in the film. Basil Rathbone's contribution feels diminished as he’s relegated to a minor villainous appearance, but Leo G. Carroll shines as the clueless Felix Ducotel, winning over the audience with his delightful portrayal. Many consider this a Christmas movie, though it’s truly enjoyable at any time of year, demonstrating how a strong script can elevate comedy. *We're No Angels* is consistently amusing and features some very watchable performances. It earns a rating of 7/10.
