SYNOPSIS: Conflict is a love triangle with murder at its heart, an atmospheric film noir of rainy nights, looming shadows, fatal romance and a trench-coated killer that walks out of the mist – all directed by Curtis Bernhardt, a filmmaker skilled in the Expressionistic style of his native Germany. The story embraces the perfect noir topic: the almost-perfect crime. Humphrey Bogart portrays Richard Mason, married to nagging Katherine… but in love with her sunny sister. Shortly after a fifth-year wedding celebration at the home of a friend, Richard decides to remove the obstacle to his happiness. He kills Katherine, carefully leaving no evidence of his guilt. Or at least he thinks he killed her- until mysterious events cause Richard to fear Katherine is very much alive!

Never heard of this one but it sounds interesting.

Coming from the nitrate neg, it should look spectacular.

It was only this year that I finally realized Bogart is my favorite actor. Not because of his romantic roles or detective roles. It's when he plays the villain. You can feel and see the darkness in his eyes. He's terrifying. I haven't seen Conflict, but I'm in. Doesn't hurt that these Warner Archive releases have been mostly home runs in terms of restoration quality.

I was hoping for the same thing. Part of the October releases for "spooky season" maybe?!

I always liked this film, it worked really well the first time I saw it,

[Show spoiler]

I didn't know this was getting a Blu-ray release, I think I have only seen the SD TCM version. I will like to see this release once it's back in stock.
