It's on AFI's top 100 movies, yeah you'd better watch it. It's great to see bogart not playing suave, suited characters ala cary Grant.
John Huston was super interesting and influential filmmaker in his own right.
Yea, Bogie could be a bit everyman, a bit hard-bitten, a bit suave, a bit hustler, depending on the role. Even in Casablanca he's just trying to get by, make a buck, and not get shot as a collaborator. He's not "the man", he's a man. And as I think about it, the characters would've lived through WWI - that would make you tough enough whether you served or not.
He did a lot of stuff like this such as "To Have and Have Not".
And Huston was an important/influential director from the era.
