Me and Bogie, we’d be mates, ..just sayin’
Such classics.I have only watched one.Key Largo.I desperatly need to watch all of them.
Bogie was a great actor, but he was the most unlikely romantic lead in film history. He was not particularly handsome, but somehow he produced that something that made him convincing as a ladies’ man.
They don’t make great movies like this anymore.
Classic movies! Excellence!
All great films…To Have and Have Not is my fave of the four.
Thank you for putting together this site for fans of Film Noir. It is informative, entertaining and above all very professional. Jacqueline, you are destined to be a success.
You’re welcome and thanks for visiting the site!
A great prize this month. Blue Velvet would also have been a good choice.
I have seen and love all the Bogie/Bacall movies with To Have and Have not being my favorite. Just incredible chemistry displayed here with the famous “you know how to whistle Steve line.” My second favorite is Key Largo. This was a fine film with top notch actors. You can’t help but love Robinson in this film. He is such a force on the screen. He takes over any film he is in. EG Robinson was one of the greatest actors of all time.
I wonder have you seen many Robinson films?
