Warner BrosDirected by Archie Mayo
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Bros)
Drifter Leslie Howard walks into a remote cafe in the California desert where Bette Davis waits on tables for her father. He's a writer from England hitchhiking across the country, she reads poetry and dreams of Paris, and naturally they fall in love. In walks Bogey and his gangster pals, who take hostages and bring their dreamy talk down to earth. Howard makes a pact with Bogey, one that is justified in his own mind but very questionable in mine. A good film though like many based on plays a bit stagy and very talky.
