_Enemy Mine_ without the totally unnecessary final third of the film. ---

The theatrical term is “two hander”, although there may be secondary characters in addition to the two main ones (as opposed to a play or movie or TV show with literally just two characters). [Here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-hander#Film) is a Wikipedia list. ---

Abigail Breslin did a movie with Jodie Foster called _Nim’s Island_ which I wanted to be good, but it wasn’t, and also was further ruined by the presence of Gerard Butler. ---

True… I love Bogart and John Huston, but I couldn’t get “into” it… I think its very un-Bogart like (ala “Sabrina”), but they both team up in one of my Top 10 movies with “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” - for the most part, 3 characters with a few others coming in at different parts of the movie.
