mikef6 O'Brien often tends to be on the dull and plodding side ... especially so when dealing with the likes of live wires Cagney and Bogart. The Bogart face image made me Can HEAR him saying the line ! Me, too.

China Clipper 1936 as Hap Stuart ( I posted a Pic here, but because of some strange international rule it is now gone) Bogart as a non-criminal, instead as a wise-cracking pilot, frequently engaged in verbal sparring with airline owner Pat O'Brien and fellow pilot Ross Alexander. That's about what his role does, but at least he has a respectable job this time.

Kid Galahad (1937) as Turkey Morgan Fight promoter Nick Donati grooms a bellhop as a future champ, but has second thoughts when the 'kid' falls for his sister. Trivia: Remade as The Wagons Roll at Night (1941) with Humphrey Bogart in a circus setting, and with Elvis Presley as Kid Galahad (1962). Renamed The Battling Bellhop for TV distribution so as not to be confused with the Elvis Presley version. Ed G gets to wear the bow tie this time.

This can't be the same Margaret Wycherly we all know and love from later movies. Can it? This may be her first "talkie"

The Bad Sister (1931)Marianne falls in love with a con artist who has a hidden agenda.Humphrey Bogart as Valentine Corliss Trivia: Bette Davis' first film. In her later appearances on TV talk shows, whenever an interviewer asked Bette "What was your first film?", her frequent response was: "It was called THE BAD SISTER. And I played the GOOD sister!" Invariably, the audience would roar with laughter and applaud. IMDb User Reviews

Stand-in (1937) Watched it. It's mostly Leslie Howard and Joan Blondell with occasional Bogart ! It has a silly and and too complicated plot and is not all that good but it is BOGART ! As Atterbury Dodd (Howard) drives into Hollywood there is a great montage of the olde time Restaurants including The Brown Derby. That was pretty cool. Lots of behind the scenes shots of the workings of a movie studio. They keep referring to "the gorilla" in their movie within a movie even though he is a chimpanzee One scene has Bogart holding a tennis racket in his office for no discernible reason which can be supposed to be a reference to his possibly Urban Legend "tennis anyone" line. (image being sought! ) Worth a watch if only to see Howard and Blondell and to check off another Bogart on the list. IMDb User Reviews

BATouttaheckThe only thing that the Bogart biography has to say about The Stand-In is that he did it on loan-out to independent producer Walter Wanger and that his wife Mayo Methot encouraged him to take it without grumbling as a break from the cookie-cutter roles he was being assigned under contract with Warner Bros.

It sure was not cookie cutter He was a good guy in it but it was a rather strange story and .... I dunno .... the whole movie was ... what's the word .. <meh> Like this didn't make sense to me (and I hadn't even fallen asleep and missed an explanatory scene or two No credit for the dog but it doesn't look like Toto/Terry

I see that you haven't "*"ed Isle of Fury, so here it is. Isle Of Fury / Frank McDonald (1936). Unknown Bogart! Some American residents of a small south Pacific island are gathered for the marriage of Val Stevens (Bogie, wearing a rare mustache) and Lucille (Margaret Lindsay). Outside the house, a brutal storm is raging. The ceremony is interrupted by the news that a boat has wrecked on the reef. Val takes a boat to the rescue and pulls two men out of the water. One is Eric Blake (Donald Woods). This is the beginning of a tale of secrets (all the white people on the island are running from something, including the alcoholic doctor played by E.E. Clive) and a romantic triangle (Lucille and Eric are attracted to one another). Not all that bad a film – in fact, it’s pretty good - for what it is: a medium-budgeted programmer produced as a second feature attraction – I say medium budgeted because they were given five days for location shooting on Catalina Island. Bogart hated this film and would even deny he ever made it. Personally, the only thing he got out of it was a love for Catalina to which he often returned in later years. Many viewers (me included) respectfully disagree with the star’s assessment. There is a twist ending and a nice moment when Lucille has to decide between Val or Eric. Most commentators mention the fake special-effect giant squid, but, hey, it was 1936. As was his personal policy, no matter how hard he had partied the night before, Humphrey Bogart always showed up on time, knew his lines, and gave 100% no matter the script. Give it a look.

Midnight (1934) The foreman of a jury asks questions that send a woman to the electric chair for a murder committed in the heat of passion. On the night of the execution, his actions come back to haunt him.
Gar Boni (Bogart) : I'm not ready yet to settle down in the suburbs and wear golf pants.

The Return of Doctor X (1939)A hotshot reporter and a young doctor team up to investigate a series of grisly murders and a mysterious sample of synthetic blood. Humphrey Bogart said of this film: "This is one of the pictures that made me march in to Warner Bros. studio chief Jack L. Warner and ask for more money again. You can't believe what this one was like. I had a part that somebody like Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff should have played. I was this doctor, brought back to life, and the only thing that nourished this poor bastard was blood. If it had been Jack Warner's blood or [Harry Warner's] or [Sam Warner's] maybe I wouldn't have minded as much. The trouble was, they were drinking mine and I was making this stinking movie."this film mentioned by Prime etc. The Return Of Doctor X / Vincent Sherman. Warner Bros. Surprisingly entertaining mad scientist flick which Humphrey Bogart, who plays a dead man walking, reportedly hated doing – but he is very good and, really, the only truly scary thing about this would-be horror film. Wayne Morris tops the cast as a fast talking reporter; you know, the kind who wears his fedora with the front brim turned up flat. He gets himself fired after he goes to interview a famous actress (Lya Lys). He finds her murdered body so phones in the story to the paper before calling the police. When the cops arrive, the body is gone. The next day, the actress shows up at the newspaper, alive and threatening a law suit. Morris ropes in a buddy who is a doctor (Dennis Morgan) and they both begin to investigate. This leads them to a blood expert, Dr. Flegg (John Litel) and his assistant, Quesne (pronounced “Caine) – Bogart. Quesne’s skin is completely white and he has a line of perfectly white hair running through his otherwise brunette mane. Hmm. No blood, maybe? Everything about “Doctor X” is, of course, nonsense but the movie hardly slows down enough for an audience to think about it until it is all over. Still, I thought it was quite enjoyable, especially seeing how Humphrey Bogart can elevate this kind of material. Seen on TCM. Excellent print.
