Sherwood initialIy wanted Bogart for a smaIler roIe. "I thought Sherwood was right," Bogart said. "I couldn't picture myself playing a gangster. So what happened? I made a hit as the gangster." So right was he that Howard refused to make the fiIm without him...and heIped Iaunch Bogey's brilIiant movie career. |
