I should have read your warning before I watched it here. The movie on YouTube is in the correct aspect ratio, 1.37;1.

From IMDb:
Humphrey Bogart was involved in a serious automobile accident during production of this film, which knocked out several of his teeth and hindered his ability to speak. John Huston hired a young British actor noted for his mimicry skills to rerecord some of Bogart's spoken lines during post-production looping. Although it is undetectable when viewing the film today, it is Peter Sellers who provides Bogart's voice during some of the scenes in this movie.

While not one of the Bogey Greats, this movie is a fun romp with an interesting enough plot and plot-twists that will keep you guessing until the end. Not "required viewing"; it is, however, worth watching.

Bogart's character seems lacking in direction; while Jennifer Jones takes center stage as a daft, not-so-dumb blonde with an overactive imagination. The rest of the cast provide adequate, but less than stellar performances.

Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Peter Lorre in a John Houston film! What's not to love? Bogart at his best, and this movie predates a lot of the coming conflict with uranium mining in Africa. It was also a hallmark film in the coming trend for "shot on location" films, rather than totally inside a studio.

The only drawback is that Hulu is putting in too many commercials! Two commercials every six minutes on average. Ten minutes of commercials overall, for a 90 minute movie. Waaaay too many. Hulu advertisers - tell Hulu to knock it off!
