The entire cast is amazing. Thomas Gomez was excellent in his role of Curly.

I think Eddie G is fabulous in this film...but I don't know if he 'steals' it. Not from Bogie, anyway.
I do love him in this role and thought he did an excellent job in it...but he didn't exactly cover any new territory for him or anything....
I still favor Bogie in this film...but Eddie did do an excellent job.

This one has a marvellous cast. There is Lionel Barrymore as the gruff old man, and each gangster seems to have some individuality.
I read once that this was a tough shoot and that Raoul Walsh actually directed the shootout on the boat. Does anyone know if this is true? (The souce, Carlos Clarens' "Crime Films" seemed a little hostile to this film and to John Huston.)

Not sure, but I Found this: The final confrontation on a boat is actually the ending to the book "To Have and Have Not" which wasn't used in the film version.
