Review by anonymous (posted on 24-Mar-2006)

Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart had played the same roles in the stage version. Warner Brothers wanted to put Howard in the film but replace Bogart with Edward G. Robinson. Howard insisted on Bogart, and Robinson was happy to step aside from yet another gangster role. Bogart would later name his first child with Lauren Bacall Leslie, in honor of Howard, the man who gave him his first big break. The character of Duke Mantee was mainly inspired by bank robber John Dillinger.
