Treasure Of The Sierra Madre – Bogart’s Paranoia
Teeasure Of The Sierra Madre – Bogart’s Paranoia - John Huston’s POV
I think that Dobbsie (Bogart) is shown not to be particularly scheming at the outset – At most he’s only ornery. Deep inside is his latent insanity that is hidden by his daily routine among other city dwellers, and inactivated by his poverty. But out in the unstructured country – and with riches to...
Sabrina Movie Review Slightly Disappointing
Humphrey Bogart In Sabrina Saw Sabrina last night with Hepburn and Bogie. It was so campy but at the same time I enjoyed it though. It was fun spotting other stars throughout the movie, such as Grandma Walton as Bogie’s secretary, Dr. Bombay as the chauffer, Ms. Hathway as one of the maids. Seeing Bogart in Sabrina was kind of shocking. He seemed out of his element. Holden was disappointing. He...

Bogart Bacall Dark Passage Plot Holes
Dark Passage 1947 Plot Holes. Love the movie. The plot holes are hilarious tho. 1. Guy escapes San Quintin in a garbage can. 2. The first guy to pick him up is a small time crook, who Bogart knocks out. 3. The next person to pick Bogart up, Lauren Bacall just happens to be his lone defender who even had a letter about it printed in the paper, she never met him. 4. She thinks him innocent of murder, but by...

Maltese Falcon Aspects That Never Made The Movie
Maltese falcon Trailer Maltese falcon Plot Points Not Included In Movie Well, there are two aspects Of The of the novel which never made it even to Huston’s first draft. I suppose they thought the first unfilmable and unnecessary, and the second way to risque for 1941: 1) The Flitcraft Parable — wherein Spade tells Brigid an episode about an average man, married, with a steady job, who one...

Four Reasons Casablanca Is Such A Great Film
Four reasons Casablanca is considered a great film: 1. Its screenplay. I would bet more lines are still quoted from that film today than any other (“You played it for her, you can play it for me. Play it, Sam.” “Of all the gin joints in all the world she had to walk into mine.” “Here’s looking at you, kid.” “We’ll always have Paris.”...

viagra no prescription overnight
A gangster movie which isn’t set in Chicago, or some inner-city, but out in the sierras where it’s morphed into a noir film. Bogie as “Mad Dog Earle” rushes towards death, as his sense of doom is written over every inch of his face. Tired of being surrounded by sharks he latches onto something he sees as pure, pure on the inside — a clubfooted girl living out in the sticks,...

In A Lonely Place Revisited
Bogart – Nicholas Ray dir. I just saw “In A Lonely Place” and was completely floored by how good it was. Ray drew some amazing performances from Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. And there are all these peripheral characters who seem so strangely flawed. The agent, the masseuse, the cop and his wife, the tipsy actor. It’s film noir with a Hollywood Babylon twist. The ending was...

Maltese Falcon Movie Review
The Maltese Falcon (1941) The Maltese Falcon is one of the greatest films ever made. I’ve seen it at least 20 times. Always fresh. Always nuanced. This is indeed one of the best and most enjoyable movies of all time. I can’t wait to watch it for the two hundredth time. . Bogart was superb at his rapid fire best, with Mary Astor setting the STANDARD for manipulative femme fatales for all...
