The Petrified Forest - (Archie Mayo;1936;USA) - ***1/2
Several people, including a waitress, intellectual, jock, old man, middle-aged couple, and a group of outlaws are stuck in a gas station while vigilantes search for the outlaws, and a sandstorm appears.
An overlooked gem in the 30's. The script and cast is great. What stands out above all is Bogart's supporting role, which is meticulously acted. Howard's character is also very interesting, although the film could've been better.

The Public Enemy is left in the box, and I will be returning to the Cassavetes box soon for the final film in it, Opening Night.
