Humphrey Bogart, dying of cancer and in what ultimately became his second to last film, petitioned Wyler for the role here of escaped killer Glenn Griffin, who with his younger brother and a third prisoner, stage a brutal home invasion. “Why here? Why my house?” demands patriarch Fredric March. “Your break,” sneers Bogie. “I like the location. I like a house with a bike outside – love people with kids. They don’t take no chances.” Rabid as his gangster in Wyler’s DEAD END almost 20 years earlier, Bogart mercilessly taunts his screen titan equal March. “A man plays with dynamite, he’s gonna get it,” warns a detective.
