I seldom hold actors in highest esteem but Humphry Bogart really conveyed here an emotional state that has resonated with me.

I agree, Every TV series (Maverick, 1957 ~62) and all the movies he was in as well !
I should look into getting the Maverick TV series, as I think I currently own, all but that that James Garner was the principle in.

The 1994 Maverick movie with James Garner, Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster. and James Coburn was also very, very good. I don’t think a lot of people saw it, but it was excellent in my opinion.
