"Virginia City" was Bogart's first released film of the forties and his final appearance in a Western
Colorfully directed by Michael Curtiz, it was an expensively mounted but rather routinely scripted tale of a Union Army officer (Errol Flynn) who blocks the plan of his Rebel antagonist (Randolph Scott) to ship five million dollars in gold to aid the Confederacy
Bogart, again sporting his unappealing mustache, was a half-breed outlaw hired by Scott to divert Flynn but who finds the temptation of having the money for himself irresistible
Not only was Bogart forced to play a poorly delineated role in "Virginia City," but he was required to work with Flynn and Scott, two actors for whom he had a tremendous personal dislike
