I watched one tonight I had not seen: ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT (1942) with a fantastic cast including CONRAD VEIDT, FRANK McHUGH, WILLIAM DEMAREST, JACKIE GLEASON, PHIL SILVERS... and PETER LORRE !!! It was stupid and fast paced, implausible and fun, made the same year as CASABLANCA (and not nearly as great). Today is CONRAD VEIDT's birthday and as TCM is wont to do, they showed CONRAD VEIDT movies all afternoon. I may have now seen all of his movies!
I think I've only ever really seen Casablanca. Should probably check out The Maltese Falcon.

It's better. Which is sayin' a lot.
I had
CASABLANCA on earlier today and half watched it. It's like visiting old friends. That movie is loaded with wonderful talents like
CLAUDE RAINS S.Z. SAKALL and
INGRID BERGMAN of course.

I had not seen
PETER LORRE play such a "heavy" in any movie I can think of; his fiendish mad men murderers are never "heavies" pushin' people around... it is definitely a product of the machine. What a treat to see all that talent in one "B" movie (though with
BOGIE I know it was no "B"). Think "B" as in Bad! Though it comes across quite "B". Low rent.
LOVED it. I now know who
KAAREN VERNE is (apparently one of
LORRE's wives!)
And laughed...!
Fun Bogie fact- he appeared in WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS (1931),with...Bela Lugosi! Sadly, his part was cut. :bluesad:
my all time fave bogie movie is we're no angels, him singing is a HOOT! :cheers:
I'll give some love to The Maltese Falcon. Fantastic film. :smile:
My favorite Bogie films-
1. the MALTESE FALCON (1941)
2. the BIG SLEEP (1946)
3.KEY LARGO (1948)
4.the TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE (1948)
5.HIGH SIERRA (1941)
6.BEAT THE DEVIL (1953) Very under-rated gem.
7.the AFRICAN QUEEN (1951) Yeah, I know, it's shmaltzy stuff, but great shmaltzy stuff!
8.the CAINE MUTINY (1954)
9.CASABLANCA (1942)
10.DEAD END (1937)

All good. I still like
DARK PASSAGE better than
BEAT THE DEVIL, but it's hard to find fault with your list. Here's my favorite from
DEAD END:

One of his most off-beat movies that I think is pretty good is THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA
I also like him playing second-fiddle to James Cagney in ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES

I like both of those movies, particularly anything
AVA GARDNER...
ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES has that fantastic ending!
GREAT movie!
