"Yeah, I wish I had a better answer for why I can't forgive things in this that work for me in other classic films. Maybe it just comes down to Bogart and Holden not being able to sell me on it this time around. I didn't know this when I wrote this, but apparently they originally wanted Cary Grant for the Bogart part. That might've worked better, though I think in that case, her falling for Holden instead at first would've been even harder to believe." - Jandy
