5.0 out of 5 stars An early outing for Bogart
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
This was probably the first Bogart movie I saw, with my parents, back in the 60's on a small black and white TV with poor sound, which didn't really matter too much, as I read the subtitles that Danish Broadcasting so kindly supplied the film with. I have longed for a revisit with this movie, so I was very excited when a US release could be found on Blu-ray. Being a Warner Brother's Classic, you can play the movie and the plentiful extras on a standard European player.
Bogart got the role of Duke Mantee, a killer, on the insistence of Leslie Howard, a big star at the time, as they had performed their respective film roles on stage. Howard saying he wouldn't do the film if "Duke" was played by another actor than Bogart. It also stars Bette Davis. But Bogart steals the show.
What a treat, to see this film looking and sounding so good; now that I don't have to rely on subtitles.
Extras are: Commentary by Bogart biographer; Leonard Maltin hosting a "Warner Night at the Movies 1936, which incl. newsreels, musical short, a cartoon a theatrical trailers; A featurette about the "Petrified Forest" & an Audio only bonus of the play performed in 1940.
-I love these old "Warner Night at the Movies" it gives a true insight into life before television, let alone computers. And the radio plays evokes memories, if not quite from my own childhood, then memories of the stories my parent told me about their childhood and years of youth. I can highly recommend this movie. My only grumble is I had to import it as no UK release is, to my knowledge, available. Why not?

5.0 out of 5 stars The prototype of a well-done boxed set
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2007

Kudos to Warner Home Video for the loving treatment they gave these six classic films from their vaults. Every film gets the Warner Night at the Movies treatment with a newsreel, a trailer, a vintage short subject, and a cartoon each from the year in which the movie was made. Plus there are commentary tracks for all of the films. I liked watching each film through first without the track, and then listening to them with the track turned on for insight into the stars and the style of the film. In addition to this you get the following featurettes:

Little Caesar - "End of Rico, Beginning of the Antihero"
Public Enemy - "Beer and Blood: Enemies of the Public"
Petrified Forest - "Menace in the Desert". There is also a radio adaptation featuring Humphrey Bogart, Tyrone Power, and Joan Bennett.
Angels with Dirty Faces - "Whaddaya Hear? Whaddaya Say?". This also has an audio-only radio production.
The Roaring Twenties - "The World Moves On"
White Heat - "Top of the World"

It's interesting to compare the three stars of these movies - Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, and Humphrey Bogart - and their styles in each of these movies. "Little Caesar" and "Public Enemy" were made when prohibition was still in effect and gangland crime was still a big problem. Thus Robinson and Cagney each play remorseless criminals with no redeeming values whatsoever. Robinson's Rico is less physical than Cagney's Tom Powers, though. You believe that either one of them would shoot you without a second thought. However, Cagney's Powers is scarier because the real fear is that he would beat you to a pulp for the fun of it and THEN shoot you.

"The Petrified Forest" is not your typical gangster film, with Leslie Howard's vagabond being the real star in what amounts to an improbable romance set against the backdrop of the desperation of the Great Depression which the desert setting seems to signify. This 1936 film has Bogart as Duke Mantee, a gangster on the run, in what amounts to a supporting role. However, you do get to see all of the traits that made Bogart great when he got the opportunity to seize the lead in later roles. And to think they almost cast him as the filling station attendant in this one!

In 1938's "Angels with Dirty Faces" and 1939's "The Roaring Twenties" Cagney is again playing the lead gangster and Humphrey Bogart plays a supporting role in both films. With prohibition long over, though, these movies make Cagney's gangster more three-dimensional, showing him to even be a self-sacrificing character at times as well as a killer. Both movies bother to show that had circumstances been a little different, he might not have even become a criminal in the first place.

1949's "White Heat" shows the influence of film noir that was so popular in the 40's an 50's. Here, Cagney's gangster persona has come full circle back to the viciousness of Tom Powers in "Public Enemy". The big difference is that in this film Cagney's mother is no cream puff. She is, in fact, probably a bigger criminal in thought if not in deed than Cagney's Cody Jarrett. This final gangster film of the six shows technology and thus the law gaining on the criminal, with electronic gadgets and undercover lawmen with college degrees in psychology replacing the determined hard-boiled detectives and beat cops of the past. It very much looks forward to the Dragnet series that is to emerge in the 50's.

In summary, this is just a terrific package and basically acts as a complete course on the gangster film as genre. All studios should stand up and take notice of how Warner Home Video put this set together. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful cast of characters lights up the monochrome screen of a classic early film noir
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2021
Verified Purchase
This movie, as an adapted Broadway play, succeeds due to the sheer power of the acting and dialogue, transcending the limits of the confined spaces of the roadside diner in which most of the action takes place. In addition, tight directing from Archie L. Mayo creates a convincing hostage drama in the most unlikely of settings in the semi-desert environment of a remote Arizona outpost. The atmosphere of the Great Depression permeates the story of a desperado, Duke Mantee, a violent criminal on the run, and played with Bogart's great gift for controlled intensity, who is prepared to use the people in the diner as collateral damage, if necessary, to enable him to escape. Bette Davis and Leslie Howard are brilliant as two young, idealistic people struggling to make ends meet in hard times who get caught up in the dangerous situation which unfolds. This 1936 movie makes full use of all the ingredients of cinema to become a memorable early noir classic which exerted considerable influence on the movies of the 40s and 50s in this genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC FILM ADAPTED FROM A GREAT PLAY
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2010
Verified Purchase
This great 1936 film noir, directed by Archie Mayo, is adapted from the excellent 1935 play by Robert Emmet Sherwood;  The Petrified Forest .

The plot of this film, although filled with action and romance, is very typical of the pessimistic world view of the intellectuals of the 1930s. Failed and disillusioned writer Alan Squier (Leslie Howard), wandering in the Arizona desert, trying to discover the "Petrified Forest" and the meaning of his existence, finds himself at a local restaurant. He is drawn to the owner's daughter and aspiring artist Gabby Maple (Bette Davis) and is moved by her eagerness to experience the world and to escape the suffocating life she is trapped in. A catalyst to both their lives will prove to be the outlaw and murderer Duke Mantee (Humphrey Bogart), who seeks refuge in Gabby's restaurant.

This film is a great adaptation of the original play, beautifully directed and with fantastic performances by Leslie Howard, Humphrey Bogart, and Bette Davis. Both Howard and Bogart were in the very successful Broadway production, and when Warner Bros. decided to produce this film, although they wanted to get Howard for his role as Alan Squier, they were reluctant to cast newcomer Bogart. However, Leslie Howard insisted and since he refused to do the film without his friend Humphrey Bogart, the studio was left with no choice and Bogart's successful career begun.

In total a great classic film that is wonderful to have as a DVD. Highly recommended!!!

I really don’t like gangster films. So imagine my surprise when I sat down to watch this film with Humphrey Bogart and Bette Davis to fine out it was actually a gangster film and even more surprised that I would enjoy it. This film from 1935 is beautifully restored outside of being restored by the Criterion Collection this is probably the best restoration we’re gonna get.
A group of gangsters converge on a lonely desert town where the only hotspot is the local diner.
