The comedy in the film is what makes the film great. It is boring, wartime romance without the wit of Ric, Louie, Ferrari, Sam, even Lazlo.
Even Peter Lorre's Ugarte was tragically funny.
While it was not a throwaway, low budget or "indie" equivalent for its day, they didn't have sky high expectations for it, either.
It became a movie that was highly rewatchable and very quotable. It is difficult to be both things and not be a great film by some criteria.
