    • Trivia
      Based on the play "My Three Angels" by Sam Spewack and Bella Spewack, which opened on Broadway March 11, 1953 at the Morosco Theatre, where it ran for 344 performances. The roles played by Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray, and Peter Ustinov were originated on stage, respectively, by Walter Slezak, Darren McGavin, and Jerome Cowan. The roles portrayed by Leo G. Carroll and Joan Bennett were played by Henry Daniell and Joan Chandler.
    • Goofs
      The movie supposedly plays ON Devil's Island (it's superimposed in the establishing shot at the very beginning) and Ducotel's general store is located in Cayenne (it's mentioned several times), the capital of French Guiana. However, Devil's Island exclusively was a penal colony with no civilian settlement, and Cayenne lies on the mainland coast, approximately 50 miles east of Kourou, the closest mainland town to Devil's Island.

    A film with charm to spare

    I stumbled upon We're No Angels one night on AMC. I found that I couldn't leave the TV. I enjoyed the three likeable convicts and discovered that Humphrey Bogart has a knack for light comedy. Peter Ustinov is very deadpan and as a result, some of the best lines come from his character. Aldo Ray is the sweet dumb guy with a heart of gold and a rather dangerous pet. Basil Rathbone is great as the guy you love to hate. A great cast, a good script and good direction by Michael Curtiz makes this a classic.
