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.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

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:

I'll give some love to The Maltese Falcon. Fantastic film.  :smile:
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

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)

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:

The Burgomaster

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

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

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