During his lengthy show business career, George Raft achieved the
reputation as one of the screen's toughest and most convincing
movie mobsters. His roles in Scarface, Each Dawn I Die, Invisible
Stripes, Rogue Cop and Some Like it Hot were so convincing that
audiences frequently thought they were watching the genuine
article. Yet to classify Raft merely as a cinema gangster is to do
him a disservice. He delivered equally strong performances in such
classics as Night After Night, Bolero, Souls at Sea, Spawn of the
North, They Drive by Night and Manpower, his success in these roles
quickly establishing him as one of the top box office draws during
the 1930s and 40s. But Raft just missed the brass ring of
superstardom - due to his notorious friendships with men such as
"Bugsy" Siegel and, more significantly, his famous rejections of
films that his rival Humphrey Bogart turned into major triumphs:
Dead End, High Sierra and The Maltese Falcon. Written with the
generous cooperation of many of Raft's friends and co-workers,
George Raft: The Man Who Would Be Bogart details the fascinating
life and career highs and lows of a man who created an
unforgettable image - onscreen and off.
