Action in the North Atlantic

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Raymond Massey, Ruth Gordon, Alan Hale, Julie Bishop

Synopsis: Action in the North Atlantic is solid wartime propaganda with a rather endearing inner lining of left-wing politics, courtesy (no doubt) of scenarist John Howard Lawson, who based his screenplay on a novel by maritime specialist Guy Gilpatric. While running war goods to America's Russian allies, a Read More

Across the Pacific

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Charles Halton, Victor Sen Yung, Keye Luke

Synopsis: A lively espionage drama that reunited the stars and director of the previous year's The Maltese Falcon, Across the Pacific was originally envisioned as the story of a Japanese invasion of Hawaii.

The Big Shot

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Irene Manning, Richard Travis, Susan Peters, Stanley Ridges

Synopsis: Just because Humphrey Bogart had been promoted to the A-list by way of The Maltese Falcon (1941), that didn't mean that he was completely free of such minor potboilers as The Big Shot.

Casablanca

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre

High Sierra

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Ida Lupino, Arthur Kennedy, Joan Leslie, Alan Curtis

Synopsis: In a manner of speaking, Humphrey Bogart had George Raft to thank for his ascendancy to stardom: after all, if Raft hadn't turned down both High Sierra and The Maltese Falcon, Bogart might have continued playing second-billed gangsters to the end of his days. Adapted from W. R. Burnett's novel by Burnett Read More

The Maltese Falcon

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Ward Bond, Barton MacLane, Gladys George

Synopsis: After two previous film versions of Dashiell Hammett's detective classic The Maltese Falcon, Warner Bros. finally got it right in 1941--or, rather, John Huston, a long-established screenwriter making his directorial debut, got it right, simply by adhering as closely as possible to the original. Read More

The Wagons Roll at Night

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Sylvia Sidney, Eddie Albert, Joan Leslie, Sig Rumann

Synopsis: In the 1930s and 1940s, Warner Bros. developed a positive genius for remaking earlier films in new, disguised fashion, retaining the plotlines but altering the circumstances and character names.

All Through the Night

Virginia City

Actors: Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins, Randolph Scott, Humphrey Bogart, Frank McHugh

Synopsis: Promoted as a follow-up to the popular 1939 western Dodge City (which, indeed, was left wide open for a sequel in its closing scenes), Virginia City bears only surface resemblance to the earlier film. Indeed, the only discerning links between the two pictures are the western setting and the Read More

Invisible Stripes

Actors: George Raft, Jane Bryan, William Holden, Humphrey Bogart, Flora Robson

Synopsis: Invisible Stripes is a cookie-cutter Warners prison drama which rounds up the usual suspects. George Raft and Humphrey Bogart are top-billed, and as is often the case in such a circumstance, it is Raft who is given the larger (albeit less interesting) role. Raft plays Cliff Taylor, an ex-convict Read More

They Drive by Night

Actors: George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart, Ida Lupino, Gale Page

Synopsis: They just don't make 'em like They Drive By Night anymore.

King of the Underworld

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, James Stephenson, John Eldredge, Jessie Busley

The Return of Doctor X

Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane, Dennis Morgan, John Litel, Huntz Hall, Wayne Morris

Synopsis: Humphrey Bogart makes his first and last appearance in a horror movie in this film. Though the title implies that it is a sequel to the classic 1932 chiller Dr. X it is not.
