The Petrified Forest (1936)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 83m
Director: Archie Mayo
Cast: Leslie Howard, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart

Synopsis:

A waitress at a diner in the Californian desert meets and falls for a suicidal drifter, but both are endangered by the unpredictable Duke Mantee, a fugitive bank robber who bursts in hoping to rendezvous with his gang.

Review:

Hoary melodramatics imported wholesale from Robert E. Sherwood's Broadway play, with much chewing of the scenery from Bogart and mooning about the desert stillness from Howard. Davis, though, you don't take your eyes off, and it is different.
