+ extra material (253 MB to download)

1. The Coo-Coo Nut Grove - an early Warner cartoon that caricatures just about every celebrity alive in Hollywood at the time.

2. Petrified Forest: Menace in the Desert - retrospective feature on the movie containing a lot of historical information on how and why (famous gangster John Dillinger reached his infamous end during this period) the stage play was turned into a film. There's also a lot about how the film turned Bogart from a meager, little-known character actor into an A-list leading man.
