     Conflict
1945  NR  DRAMA  1h 26min
CAST— Humphrey Bogart, Alexis Smith, Sydney Greenstreet, Rose Hobart, Charles Drake, Grant Mitchell
MUSIC— Frederick Hollander  DIRECTOR— Curtis Bernhardt  BASED ON— The Pentacle (story), by Alfred Neumann, Robert Siodmak

     Engaging mystery involving Humphrey Bogart in murder and a serious case of “huh?”. Bogart, clearly in a troubled relationship with wife Rose Hobart, has fallen for his younger sister-in-law. Through a brainy plot and a horrendous staged accident he murders irksome wife… or does he? As he begins to get chummy with sister-in-law strange clues begin turning up suggesting that his late wife may not be so late after all. A compelling film that proves Bogart can play not only the aggressive bad man or the romantic lead but also the befuddled victim of poetic justice.
