"They Drive By Night" (1940)...

"They Drive By Night" (1940)...starring Humphrey Bogart, Ann Sheridan and George Raft, also with Alan Hale and Ida Lupino...Warner Brothers...Truck Driving Movie...Excellent Motion Picture...Just like Frank Sinatra was rumored to have mob connections, so was George Raft rumored to also have mob connections and also to have personally met Al Capone (Scarface), who complimented Raft on his gangster movie portrayals...When Raft was in trouble with the IRS and owed them money, Frank Sinatra sent him a blank check for him to fill in whatever amount he needed to get him out of trouble...Humphrey Bogart and Sinatra were also close friends and ate at the same restaurant in Beverly Hills, California....
