Great transition from stage play to film - By: B. Chandler, 24 Sep 2000
Leslie Howard & Humphrey Bogart were in the original Broadway play. And this was made again into a film callled "Escape in the Desert." Because I knew this movie was supposed to have Humphrey Bogart in it, it was almost like watching two movies, the one before Humphrey Bogart appeared, & the one with Humphrey Bogart. The actual shooting, (oops) I mean filming location is Red Rock Canyon, California, USA. With one This is a story a lot of people coming from different directions in their life. Together they evaluate & solve their problems the best they can in a short given time. The beauty in this movie is the action & reaction of the characters.

A similar action & reaction movie that comes to mind is "Key Largo (1948) ". However in this movie Humphrey Bogart gets to be a good guy. After these two movies, one that you need to look for is "Between Two Worlds (1944)" with Edmund Gwenn.
