The Petrified Forest is one of the first "true" Bogart films... and he's damn good in it as Duke Mantee... the role that he made famous on the stage production.
This is a great production, not necessarily in cinematic terms... but in more of a literal sense... it's a real quality screen adaption with great acting all around. But in the end it's Bogart, playing a dark, menacing Duke Mantee that steals the show.
