It All Came True / Lewis Seiler (1940). Warner-First National. Cinematography by Ernest Haller. The story opens on a run-down boarding house in a big city. It is owned by two elderly women, Mary Taylor (Jessie Busley) and Maggie Ryan (Una O’Connor). They have a house full of eccentric boarders, among them Mrs. Flint (Zazu Pitts), Mr. Salmon (Grant Mitchell), and former vaudevillian The Great Boldini (Felix Bressart). What the boarders don’t know is that the house is about to be foreclosed for back taxes. Just in time, Johnny Taylor (Jeffrey Lynn) shows up, bringing a new boarder. This is his boss, Chips Maguire (Humphrey Bogart), a gangster. Both Johnny and Chips are on the run after Chips has gunned down an informer. Johnny must go along with Chips because the hoodlum killed the man with a gun registered to Johnny. At the same time, Sarah Jane (a luminous Ann Sheridan), Maggie Ryan’s daughter and Johnny’s childhood playmate, also returns. The presence in the house of two fugitives plus the impending financial ruin of the two elderly ladies leads to some slapstick comedy mixed with sentimental melodrama. About the last 15 or 20 minutes is a musical revue that threatens to derail the entire story, but the off-stage drama going on saves the day. Having seen Jeffery Lynn recently in “The Roaring Twenties” (1939), and finding him a pretty light leading man, I was surprised at the strong impression he makes as Johnny Taylor. Ann Sheridan is a knockout. She shows why she was picked by fans as The Oomph Girl (an honor Sheridan didn’t like and would have chosen to refuse). Bogie’s performance in both the comic and serious aspects is confident and on the money. He was ready. Only 10 months after “It All Came True” reached theaters, “High Sierra” was released. “The Maltese Falcon” came out just 9 months after that and the rest, as they say, is history.

 (1940) Union officer Kerry Bradford (Errol Flynn)escapes from Confederate Prison and is set to Virginia City in Nevada. Once there he finds that the former commander of his prison Vance Irby (Randolph Scott) is planning to send $5 million in gold to save the Confederacy.   Trivial Trivia : One of only two films in which Humphrey Bogart wore a mustache. (The other was Isle of Fury (1936) "When the film premiered in Virginia City, NV, in 1940, the townspeople were charged an exorbitant admission fee (for those days) of $1.10 per customer. This was owing to the fact that Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins and others from the cast had been scheduled to make a personal appearance on stage after the film's showing. However, when Flynn and the others failed to appear, enraged audience members stormed out of the theater and took the Warner Brothers entourage (including five busloads of studio personnel) hostage, demanding they get their money back. Eventually the theater's manager agreed to make up the difference by refunding the audience 70 cents apiece, thus reducing admission to its usual 40-cent fee." |

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre as (Fred C. Dobbs)  Two Americans searching for work in Mexico convince an old prospector to help them mine for gold in the Sierra Madre Mountains.
John Huston has a cameo as an American tourist. This scene was directed by Humphrey Bogart, who took malicious pleasure on his director by making him perform the scene over and over again.
For me, another forever Bogart film ... will watch whenever and it is never too old or remotely boring.

Knock on Any Door (1949) "An attorney defends a hoodlum of murder, using the oppressiveness of the slums to appeal to the court."  with John Derek
When Humphrey Bogart was told that director Nicholas Ray wanted to film the entire 'sentencing statement for the defense' sequence in a single take, Bogart was concerned because he had never delivered such a long speech without cuts and feared he couldn't do it. Ray calmed Bogart down, suggested several rehearsals, and much to Bogart's surprise, Ray rolled during the rehearsals filming most of what has become the famous and well-played sentencing sequence. Dooley Wilson, the actor who played Sam in Casablanca, makes a brief appearance in a restaurant scene.

Conflict 1945 as Richard Mason  "Richard Mason is slightly hurt in a car accident but pretends that his injuries are worse so that he cannot accompany his wife, Kathryn on a trip to the mountains. He does, however, kill her on a lonely mountain road. Or did he? He smells her perfume, finds her jewelry, sees an envelope addressed in her handwriting. He goes back to the scene of the crime to find ... what?" "SUSPENSE...SUSPICION...MAN-WOMAN DESIRES!" "The only one of five films pairing Humphrey Bogart and Sidney Greenstreet where Bogart plays the bad guy." "Filmed in 1943 but not released until 1945 due to a dispute over rights to the story."

"The only one of five films pairing Humphrey Bogart and Sidney Greenstreet where Bogart plays the bad guy." "Filmed in 1943 but not released until 1945 due to a dispute over rights to the story." For some reason I kept putting off seeing this but when I did, I really liked it. This was a movie Humphrey Bogart didn’t want to make yet he gives a committed performance. He fought off Jack Warner’s arguments and threats of punishment as well as pressure from others until his friend and mentor Leslie Howard’s plane was shot down over the Atlantic. Grieving, Bogart decided that life was too short to sweat the small stuff, so he agreed on “Conflict” (but remained grumpy during the shoot). At this remove, we can’t understand his dissatisfaction with this mystery noir from a story co-written by Robert Siodmak, a noir directing champ. |

High Sierra / Raoul Walsh. Warner Bros. Cinematography by Tony Gaudio. 1941 was a key year for Humphrey Bogart. Since becoming a recognizable name and face in “The Petrified Forest” in 1936, he had been stuck on a Warner Brothers’ treadmill of second and third billed “B” crime movies that he could not turn down. He would wrap one movie on Wednesday and report for the next one on Thursday. He had too many people ahead of him for claim on tough guy roles: Paul Muni, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, and George Raft – each at one time or another. When Warner got the rights to the novel “High Sierra” the initial offer went to Muni, even though Bogart had requested a shot at the part from the producer. But Muni eventually split from Warner Studio over a dispute not related to “High Sierra” so Bogart got the part. It was “High Sierra” released in January 1941 coupled with an even greater success in “The Maltese Falcon” released in October that catapulted him to leading man status, a place he never relinquished.This is layered and textured storytelling. John Huston was at the time the go-to writer at Warner Brothers and Huston loved writing for Humphrey Bogart. For “The Maltese Falcon” Huston would write as well as direct and movie history will be made. “Of all the 14-karat saps. Starting out on a caper with a woman and a dog.” Humphrey Bogart, Zero the Dog and Ida Lupino
