Leslie Howard (the star) refused to do the movie without Bogart

Bogie apparently tore up the Broadway stage with his Duke Mantee portrayal, so much so that Howard went to bat for him when it came to casting the film role. HB was the best thing about the movie. I never really liked the movie too much. Too cerebral (to me, at least). Must have worked better as a stage play, because it sure felt "stagey."
