OK - I just watched a great film - In a Lonely Place with Humphrey B (why doesn't anybody name their kids Humphrey these days?) and Gloria Grahame. Gloria was married to Nicholas Ray, the director, and their marriage was falling apart as this film was made. That kind of comes across in the picture. Pretty wild. I think Gloria also played the slutty girl in Oklahoma! - the best part by far.
I found this movie to be about anger and paranoia. The best Bogart film, in my opinion, is Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which also features paranoia in a starring role. Treasure is directed by John Huston, and features Walter Huston as the voice of sanity during the treasure hunt. You can pop this one in and watch Bogart go insane.
