Earle long for that normal, decent life and Velma is his entry card into it. When she turns shallow and rejects him he gets a slap and the door out into freedom closes for him. I think the movie is all about crashing out and how he eventually fail at it in every way except through death.<br />Also I Bogart does tough-guy-with-a-soft-spot very well.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-48247606878189158522012-10-04T16:16:32.177-05:002012-10-04T16:16:32.177-05:00You can say that about a lot of the ladies from th...You can say that about a lot of the ladies from this era.
