Remake This: The Petrified Forest (1936)

Remake This...

Already having been remade in 1945 and 1955 on television, "The Petrified Forest" will forever be in the public consciousness as the 1936 film that ushered the great Humphrey Bogart onto the screen. As Duke Mantee, loosely based on criminal John Dillinger, Bogart was cast both for his likeness with the FBI's first "Public Enemy #1" and as an insistence by costar Leslie Howard who played their respective roles against one another on stage. Variety praised the performance as "leav[ing] nothing wanting."
