The Petrified Forest (1936)
by Archie Mayo
72 mins
The Petrified Forest, based on Robert E. Sherwood’s 1935 play, seems to be (apart from the usual assistant directors) entirely Mayo’s own. Most famous, perhaps, for bringing to Humphrey Bogart his first draught of film prominence, The Petrified Forest is in fact quiet and tender and extraordinarily evocative of the loose-ended lives that the Great Depression wrought. It is a very fine film about a waitress, a hobo and a bank robber who get mixed up at a lonely diner in the desert.
The film starts at 8.30 PM
