Humphrey Bogart plays Joe Gurney
Bogart, Kay Francis and John Eldredge in “King of the Underworld”
King of the Underworld tells the story of two married doctors who get into trouble with the mob. Humphrey Bogart’s Joe Gurney is a typical thug, totally amoral.
Romanticizing his criminal lifestyle, he compares himself to Napoleon and believes that he too should have a place in history.
There are many outrageous scenes, like the one in which Joe and his gang are fooled into thinking that there is an airborne virus that can turn them blind.
