(22,934 posts)We also watched "We're No Angels" with Bogart, Leo G Carrol, Aldo Ray, Peter Ustinov, Joan Bennett and Basil Rathbone. It is another traditonal one for us. If you have not seen it, track it down. It's available on a number of streaming service but all have a rental fee. We own a copy.
Synopsis:
After breaking out of prison on Devil's Island, Joseph (Humphrey Bogart) and his two cohorts flee to a nearby town and hide in a shop run by kindhearted Felix (Leo G. Carroll) ; his wife, Amelie (Joan Bennett) ; and their daughter. The three men plan to rob the store and board a ship the next day, but they soon change their minds after sharing Christmas dinner with the family. When they learn of the family's financial troubles, the convicts decide instead to carry out a few good deeds.
