John Huston, who I personally knew from voicing Gandalf in the 1977 Ralph Bakshi animated Lord of The Rings movie
That's pretty cool, I grew up watching that movie. Now I will watch this!

Hope you enjoy it! ^^
Also, I learned that the rich guy with the cigar at the beginning of the film is, in fact, a cameo of John Huston!
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.
