Conflict was the last film teaming of Humphrey Bogart and Sidney Greenstreet and for this one the roles were reversed. For once Mr. Greenstreet was a good guy and he set about to trap his friend Bogart who he suspects of murdering his wife.
I guess it's the psychiatric training for Greenstreet for that's what he plays in Conflict. Bogart and wife Rose Hobart are a seemingly happy couple, but in fact they've grown quite apart and Bogart fancies himself in love with Hobart's sister, Alexis Smith.
One night he and his wife are to go up to a mountain hotel resort, but work keeps him home temporarily at the last minute. Hobart drives up alone and doesn't return.
Let's just say that an elaborate trap has been set for a man that there is no direct evidence on. Let's say that Greenstreet's professional training comes in mighty handy for the games that are played.
Conflict is not in the same league as Maltese Falcon or Casablanca. Still it has a modicum of suspense and should keep the viewer interested.
