Sorry for the late reply, but mother was hospitalized and I had no time.
I'm not sure about two movies before the one directed by Huston. I only know of one, which I think lacks the impact and coherence of the more recent classic. Maybe I know the other under another name, but I don't remember to have watched it. I also admit I am a bit partial because I love Bogey, and it happened more than once that even in some average movie he made the difference in my eyes
