Amazon uk shows this as available as a region 2 dvd but it is never in the shows.
So is it actually available in the UK?why do I never see this film in the shops or on tv even but his lesser films are easy to find.
What are his best films anyway?(OBVIOUS CHOICES)
Off the top of my head
CASABLANCA
TO HAVE AND TO HAVE NOT
KEY LARGO
ACROSS THE PACIFIC
MALTESE FALCON
THE BIG SLEEP
SAHARHA
HIGH SIERRA
THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE
ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES
DARK PASSAGE
PETRIFIED FOREST
AFRICAN QUEEN
A favorite of mine is "In a Lonely Place" (1950) directed by Nicholas Ray.
He was still making top quality films until the end. "The Desperate Hours" (1955) directed by William Wyler, and his last movie, "The Harder They Fall" (1956), are both very good.
Once he achieved stardom, and was able (to a great extent) to choose his scripts and directors, it is interesting how discerning he was. He probably appeared in a lower proportion of turkeys than most stars of his era.
You named four of my favorite Bogart films:
Casablanka
To Have and Have Not
Key Largo
Maltese Falcon
