In Reply to: "Marked Woman," starring the impossibly young Bette Davis AND Humphrhey Bogart. posted by tinear on March 31, 2009 at 07:07:41:
In 1936, a year before "Marked Woman", they made a little film that's now considered a classic. That film, based on a Broadway play, is called "Petrified Forest." Davis and Bogart had been in that Broadway play and played the same roles on film they had created on stage. Bogie's portrayal of the desperate fugitive, Duke Mantee, is a tour-de-force.While I wouldn't call "Marked Woman" a classic, is very good and Davis is as usual, brilliant. She was certainly one of the premier "scene stealers" in the history of Hollywood.
