It’s nice to see this with it’s original title and correct cast order. It was later retitled Call it Murder and Bogart was top billed in order to cash in on his later success.
@tiggersboy There were quite a few movies back then that did that. Another company put more money into it and felt different actors would have made the plot better. Now known as reboots.
@@laurakibben4147 Well, in this case they simply retitled it and the credits were reworked to sucker people into thinking they were going to see a film starring Bogart. There was a early ‘30s film starring Pat O’Brien and in a supporting role was Bette Davis. They later re-released it with posters and credits “Starring Bette Davis” once again to sucker moviegoers in.

I found the same in this movie. I studied the movie three times with the conclusion resulting in seeing its impact on capital punishment. Could this be to coincide with the Right to Life movement? JCB
Well, that was a total waste of time. Yes, Humphrey Bogart IS in the movie - for a total of about six minutes. But he is NOT "Bogie". Here he is still a "work in progress" playing a weak and disposible Ken Doll.
Yes, this is when he first came to Hollywood after being on the stage in New York. The studios didn’t know what to do with him so he bounced around in these kind of of basically bit parts and then went back to New York. He played Duke Mantee in the Broadway production of The Petrified Forest with Leslie Howard which was a big hit and Warner Brothers wanted both the play and Howard in a film version. They DIDN’T want Bogart! Howard told them “No Bogart; No Howard!” The film was a big hit and Bogart got a contract with WB. Of course they wanted him mostly to play variations of Duke Mantee with an occasional lead in a B films so his career was stalled once again. It wasn’t until George Raft turned down several leads that eventually went to Bogart that his career took off.
Music at the beginning and music at the end, otherwise non-existent except for the practical sounds from the radio. This is typical of the era as putting music under dialogue was difficult to do from a technical standpoint. One must also remember that the early 30's optical soundtracks and recording techniques we're quite limited in frequency response and signal to noise ratio. They also had a higher distortion percentage. Having said this, I found that the dialogue was recorded with exceptional clarity, with the consonants showing extended frequency response for their time. One should not watch old movies unless willing to take them in the context of their times, both artistically and technically.

Sorry, I got distracted by the outside door on the Weldon home opening outwards. Thanks for posting.
@90FF1
That was unique 😂
Interesting psychological study

Thanks Pal. I'll give it a miss. England, January, 2024.

Bogart puts the holster on wrong....
Okay, report it to wardrobe.

The music is atrocious!
like in almost all these old movies
toooo loud and disturbing 👍
Atrocious? No, it's not THAT good!
I'm 27 in and only aware of the opening music 🤔
