Solo chi cade può risorgere (1946)
Rip Murdock (Bogart) indaga sulla morte di un ex commilitone. Scopre così che l'amico era stato condannato per l'omicidio del marito della bella Coral, che era evaso e che aveva fatto perdere le sue tracce arruolandosi sotto falso nome. Anche Rip s'innamora di Coral ma non beve le bugie che lei gli racconta e scopre drammaticamente tutta la verità. Un eccellente noir con gli ingredienti più classici: una torbida vicenda d'amore e di morte, il detective sensibile al fascino di una donna fatale e Bogart nei panni del protagonista. La morte di Coral è suggellata nello sconsolato finale con una magistrale evocazione metaforica.
