the year 1937 39 be extraordinarily productive one for rise star humphrey bogart . he appear in no less than 20 ( . ) film during those three year ( seven in 37 and six in 38 and seven in 39 ) and play the heavy in most of them . his last film of this period be invisible stripe and a less warner bros. gangster film that still offer much . bogey and fourth bill here and play chuck martin and an inveterate hood who be release from sing sing after a five year stretch and return to his old way back in the big city . get out of the slammer on the same day be cliff taylor and play by the film nominal star and george raft . back at home and cliff find that be on parole isn not so easy . his old girlfriend summarily dump him and no employer will hire him and and his kid brother ( william holden and here in one of his early role ) be be draw into a life of crime to finance his dream of an automotive shop and to marry pretty jane bryan . good thing that bogey consent to bring cliff along on a string of caper to pick up some fold money . anyway and while not in the same rarefied league of such warner gangster flix a angel with dirty face and the roaring twenty and this bogey outing be still lot of fun . it feature an exciting armored car robbery and resultant high speed car chase and load of terrific character actor ( flora robson and leo gorcey and paul kelly and lee patrick and marc lawrence and john perry white hamilton and et al . ) and ream of snappy patter and even some brightly amuse bit . ( i love the scene in which bogey and his blond moll be show exit a movie theatre that be play you can not get away with murder . another bogart picture from 1939 . ) bogey easily walk away with this picture and steal every scene that he be in and and his final word and you can not live forever and be worth the price of admission alone . it would be another few year until 1941 high sierra and the maltese falcon really make the world see him in a new light and but invisible stripe be still a highly entertaining vehicle for his ever grow talent .
