The picture that finally launched Humphrey Bogart's great screen career. Travellers at a rundown service station, including a disillusioned poet (Leslie Howard) and a waitress (Bette Davis), are held hostage by a gangster (Bogart) and his gang. Bogie's wonderfully menacing, sneering performance as the John Dillinger-inspired hood manages to eclipse much of the overt philosophical musings and Archie Mayo's stagebound direction.
