It's a balanced portrait of a wily director who had an executive angel on his side (Henry Blanke), and kept the "Treasure" project out of the hands of other parties until Huston's return from WW II service. Warner Bros has a long history of spoofing itself, its stars, its blockbusters, and massive music catalogue via cartoons, and "Eight Ball Bunny" is the perfect capper to the set. ... Full Review

He is brutish and charming at the same time, a characteristic that might apply to the film as well.....The supporting cast is no less formidable.....they and the Marco Polo label (a subsidiary of Naxos) have been successful doing a whole series of classic film scores recently....Tim Holt may have seemed an odd choice for Curtin.....The role turned out to be among the actor's finest work.... ...
