Customer Reviews

Great transition from stage play to film.

Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart were in the original Broadway play. This was made into a film called “Escape in the Desert” (1945). The actual shooting (oops) I mean filming location is Red Rock Canyon, California, USA. Because I knew this movie, “The Petrified Forest,” was supposed to have Humphrey Bogart in it, I wanted to watch two movies: the one before he appeared and the one with him. This is a story about a lot of people coming from different directions in their lives. Together, they evaluate and solve their problems the best they can in a short amount of time. The beauty in this movie is the action and reaction of the characters. A similar action and reaction movie that comes to mind is “Key Largo” (1948). However, in this movie, Humphrey Bogart gets to be a good guy. After these two movies, one that you need to look for is “Outward Bound” (1930) with Leslie Howard.
