Wiki.
The Big Shot (1942) is an American film noir crime drama film starring Humphrey Bogart as a crime boss and Irene Manning as the woman he falls in love with. Having finally reached stardom with such projects as The Maltese Falcon (1941), this would be the last film in which former supporting player Bogart would portray a gangster for Warner Bros. (He would play a gangster one last time in his penultimate film, The Desperate Hours, distributed by Paramount).
Although The Big Shot entered production after Across the Pacific, it was released nearly three months
earlier. Considered one of Bogart's lesser-known works, contemporary reviews of The Big Shot describe it as an unexceptional throwback to his earlier gangster films, most likely trying to take advantage of the success of crime drama High Sierra (1941). It was released on DVD for the first time by Warner Archive early in 2015.
