THE PETRIFIED FOREST
July 10, 2012  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Bette Davis stars in this 1936 drama, playing a waitress at a small-town diner who finds herself waiting on some unusually complicated and volatile customers. One, played by Leslie Howard, is suicidal. Another, played by Humphrey Bogart, is homicidal – and ends up taking the diner exployees and patrons hostage. A solid drama, with some very intense performances and, for Bogart, a chance to play the bad guy.
