(A favorite film of mine.) I don't know if they were directly influenced by Bogie or not. The theme of the world weary hero forced to take action is a common one in books, films, etc. Alan Ladd in Shane comes to mind. In fact the 'retired gunfighter' plot is central to many westerns and a lot of Segal's films, come to think of it. In Out for Justice, Hard to Kill, On Dangerous Ground, and other prepositional phrase movies, Segal usually falls back on his past to deal with problems in the present.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
