Even struggling with Warner Bros for best roles "The Big Shot" is another gangster movie which Bogie wanted avoid, however still under contract only remained fulfill his end of contract to be able take off new paths, what will be happens next.
The Big shot seems a B-grade Noir, about a criminal Duke Berne (Bogart) after be catch by the law went to the jail several times, each one increased his sentence, until the last one after fulfilling five year on prison, back at street, no money, no job stayed adrift for a while always with teammates at his neck to be on the old business due the lack of options even faltering he accepts.
However the mastermind behind of whole operation to armored car robbery is a well-regarded lawyer Martin Fleming (Stanley Ridges) which takes Duke Berne's former girl Lorna (Irene Manning) due Duke spending fiver years locked up, meanwhile Ruth and Duke are in touch trying an atonement, Ruth meets Duke in his cheap hideout in the day of the robbery and hold him under a gunpoint, then he didn't get attend the operation, even so Duke was mistakenly impeached by an witness pressed by rogue cops.
At first glance Bogie plays a similar role as in "High Sierra" a sympathetic and bleeding heart criminal, who knows why, but he really is, actually this picture be obscure by mostly including myself even being a hard Bogie's enthusiastic I'd never saw this hidden picture, God blessing him to because the magnificent Casablanca was near where own hero became a higher star!!
Thanks for reading.
