All Else Confusion

Check out Brother Orchid with Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart in his last supporting role. (Only leading roles for Bogie after this movie.) This spoof on gangster movies has the lead character, Johnny Sarto, hiding out in a monastery until he can find a way to take control of his rackets back from his second-in-charge, the ruthless Jack Buck (Bogart). Sarto thinks he can put one over on the monks, but soon learns the value of their way of life. Sothern steals the show as Sarto's dim-witted girlfriend, a gangster moll with a heart of gold.
