Petrified Forest, The [DVD]

A rundown diner bakes in the Arizona heat. Inside, fugitive killer Duke Mantee sweats out a manhunt, holding disillusioned writer Alan Squier, young Gabby Maple and a handful of others hostage. The Petrified Forest, Robert E. Sherwood's 1935 Broadway success about survival of the fittest, hit the screen a year later with Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart magnificently re-creating their stage roles and Bette Davis ably reteaming with Howard, her Of Human Bondage costar. Sherwood first wanted Bogart for a smaller role. I thought Sherwood was right, Bogart said. I couldn't picture myself playing a gangster. So what happened? I made a hit as the gangster. So right for the part was he that Howard refused to make the film without him and helped launch Bogie's brilliant movie career.
