So here I am again with another Bogart example. 
The classic Bogie character (which, as an actor, he makes different and fresh each time) is the loner who only looks out for himself (“I stick my neck out for nobody”), but by the end he is totally committed to the Good Side. His change of character is what drives the resolutions of the movies. This transformation was first seen fully formed in “Casablanca” even though there may have been elements of it earlier. We also see it in “To Have And Have Not,” “Key Largo,” “The African Queen” (in a more light-hearted vein), “Chain Lighting,” and “The Harder They Fall.”
