We're No Angels (1955)
One of the more unusual Christmas films reunites director Michael Curtiz and Humphrey Bogart along side Peter Ustinov and Aldo Ray. Three convicts on Devil's Island escape and stuck in the local store while trying to get off the island.
This is a light hearted comedy which does not have the most complex plot of all time but manages to carry off it's own kind of charm. The highlight of the film is Bogart and Ustinov playing their characters to perfection despite the fairly sparse nature of the comedy. If you have to watch one Christmas film about escaped convicts on a desert island then this is certainly the one I would recommend.
3/5
