Bogie's best movie?

[Fading Fast]

For my money....when the lady taxi driver hands Bogie her calling card.
And the line about her being available at night!

He was not lacking for opportunities in that movie.

I was very impressed with his small role in Big City Blues (1932) as a thuggish party guest. His latent star quality stands out like a beacon and he projects more natural menace than most of his later gangster roles.

I love that movie just for those few moments when he's on screen. He absolutely reeks of total coolness.
