Is this the only western in which he appeared? Also, is it just me, or did his arm look really tiny when the doctor was tending to his injury?

He made a standard western with Jimmy Cagney, The Oklahoma Kid. Haven't seen it, but the trailer was on some other Warner dvd I have, so there must be a dvd, which I hope to find at a resonable price someday. Cagney with ornate boots that seem to come above his knees and a 10-gallon hat half his height, looks like a little kid in a cowboy suit.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is considered a western by some, but that seems stretching the limits of the genre to me.

I wonder why Warners needed to put their "urban" types into Westerns. Boagrt & Frank McHugh look decidedly out of place. And Bogart's here-today-gone-tomorrow accent is hilarious.
May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?

I don't consider it to be a western, but a film that takes place in the west (west Mexico?)

I guess most would consider it a "modern western". Hardly anyone would argue that those legions of Italian productions set during the Mexican revolution are not westerns of a sort. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre seems to be set less than a decade later in the same country.
