Bogart's Irish accent...eeeek
Why, when they had genuine Irishman George Brent on set, did they not use him for the Irish "haaarse" handler, instead of Humphrey Bogart? He could no more pass for Irish than he could play a woman or a midget.

shareit was funny
shareHis accent is not convincing but I thought the scene in the stable where he learns she is dying was pretty good. We don't see his face but the way he tracks her face and responds physically to the news was, I thought, a good example of an actor wholly in the role and not just waiting stiffly for his next shot or to say his next line.
