I understand why he took this role, even though Dorothy Mackaill stole the show from him. This was Bogart's first lead in a film, but it happened to be in a poor one. Also, at only 68 minutes, it was on the short side as well. He is so youngIn spite of this, the best part of Bogey shone through: His ability to be a tough guy when it counted. Another character manipulated his "sister" to cry in the attempt to get some money from him. Bogart found out what happened behind his back, and he punched a guy in the face, and swore he would do it every time he saw him; even said he would kill him. This was a glimpse of the man we would come to love as one of the greatest actors of the first half of the 20th Century.
