The Big Shot (1942)
10/10
The gangster returns
18 October 2018
Here we Have a film headed in the cast by that now cultural icon Humphrey Bogart. I grew up watching films from him, cagney and Edward G Robinson.

It tells the story of a gangster on his deathbed telling us of his end years and what put him in that bed. What you have is a very good story and like all classics not a cgi filled film but a masterpiece. Bogart with his wry giggle and square chin shines through and is at a time where his leading role was very well deserved.

The film chops through romance, revenge, jealousy and Bogart the bad guy ends up being the good guy all to his demise.

You won't be disappointed with this film, and although the genre is not Film Noir it's close to it.
