The Petrified Forest

Based on Robert Sherwood's play about mobsters holding the residents of an isolated Arizona diner hostage, this classic gangster drama stars Leslie Howard as a failed writer whose appearance in the café attracts the interest of a waitress (Bette Davis). Fate then brings them into contact with thug Duke Mantee (Humphrey Bogart, in the role that made him a star), when he and his gang of fugitives take them prisoner in a bid to escape the law.
