Set in a Central American country, A Devil with Women centers on the adventurer Jerry Moxton (McLaglen) and his sidekick, Tom Standish (Bogart), who engage in fierce competition over the attentions of a luscious young woman (Mona Maris).
The film is notable for being among Bogart’s earliest screen roles, in which he is third billed, after McLaglen and Mona Maris.
In the same year, Bogart also appeared in a better film, John Ford’s Up the River, co-starring Spencer Tracy.
The two films were released in October of 1930, one week apart.
They followed Bogart’s debut in a short feature, “Broadway’s Like That.”
