Are you kidding? Bogie would've kicked his ass and had a drink afterward with James Cagney, both laughing about it.
Bogie was 50, and 5' 8". he was an actor, not some sort of badass. a young guy like the guy in the flick would have beat Cagney at the same time.
Of course, you're right. Have it your way. Feel better? Did you happen to know the sissy that got clocked by Bogie?
That was Gloria Grahame. She was also in "It's A Wonderful Life", among many other films. Looks like another DVD to buy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Grahame
