Plot: A cynical American expatriate (Bogart) runs guns in 1925 Syria
Stars: Bogart, Lee J. Cobb, Everett Sloan, Marta Toren
Produced by Bogart's "Santana Pictures", Sirocco is a backlot rehash of previous Bogie movies. This time its French Syria instead of Casablanca and Bogie's running guns instead of a saloon. As usual, he's cynical and playing both sides against the middle. The biggest flaw is the supporting cast. Lee J. Cobb is as French as Pastrami and no one else makes an impression. The script is average -the pace often slow. Bogie makes it bearable.
Summary: Not bad, an average Bogie movie that's been done before and done better. Rating **
