- Humphrey Bogart plays one of his rare comedy roles in this jaunty excursion about three convicts - Joseph (Bogart), Albert (Aldo Ray) and Jules (Peter Ustinov) - who are plotting their escape from Devil's Island. Fate intervenes when they hide out with the kindly but inept Felix Ducotel (Leo G. Carroll) and his family. Felix manages a store for his demanding, arrogant cousin Andre (Basil Rathbone), who decides to make the fatal mistake of stealing Albert's beloved pet, a poisonous snake! For the Ducotels, it will be a Christmas to remember - shared with a trio of rogues who turn out to be three "wise men" after all!

A gentle farce - We're No Angels review by AB
nice timing, well-acted, family-set film that is a gentle farce with a nice outcome and without any over-action, swearing or shouting!

quirky - We're No Angels review by AW
Fascinating to see what is obviously a French play in translation with such an interesting cast. It wears rather well and we enjoyed it.
