In “The Harder They Fall,” Humphrey Bogart’s final picture, a boxer doesn’t realize that his whole career has been fixed.

There was a plastic pumpkin with Trump’s face that in any other environment would have read as liberal mockery, but wasn’t, and a poster of Scarface, and one of Humphrey Bogart.

The actor, who keeps vintage “Maltese Falcon” and “The Big Sleep” posters on the wall of his office, discovered Bogart at London repertory houses in the ’80s while studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

“I saw ‘Casablanca,’ and that’s when I went down the Bogart rabbit hole,” says Owen.

“Acting kind of changed after Bogart’s era because Brando came along and suddenly we’re watching people who struggle to express themselves. People think of him as being laconic, but Bogart was actually super nimble with his dialogue.”
