"Bogart was a complex, hard-working, hard drinking, outspoken, witty and cynically rebellious and yet strangely Victorian, raucous and intelligent man" (Budd Schulberg, Washington Post, the 60s).
@RichardElden Many actors are bald or balding. The fact that he wore a rug is and was irrelevant. Sean Connery wore a toupee for many of his films and he was still pretty freakin' awesome. Bogart was still freakin' awesome.
@RichardElden Bogie's looks are a testament to the fact that looks aren't everything. Bogie only started to go bald after he married Bacall and as for the 'far better' American actors, William Holden ain't shit compared to Bogart. Widmark and Holden may have starred in some iconic film noir in their time but Bogart pretty much invented it, they owe their performances to Bogart, who by the way, could have done a far better job in their films. But put Widmark or Holden in Casablanca, instant flop.

KATHARINE HEPBURN IS NOT UGLY AND IS NOT A LESBIAN YOU FUCKED UP BITCH! she had a long life relationship with Spencer Tracy! Man people r just so dumb! She's also one if the best actresses of all time!
@mwells219 they were alcoholics, painkiller addicts, hard drug addicts, they were not perfect, just better at hiding their issues. But the press wasn't as obsessed with them back then either.
Katharine "catheter" Hepburn: This dyke loses all respectability & credibility once you've seen the film in which she applauds the bloody work of eugenicist Margaret Sanger, founder of the Rockefeller-bankrolled abortion clinic chain known as Planned Parenthood.
@JuanMacready , do you feel better now you've said that. You idiot! What have you done in your life that can be remembered! I would guess nothing. Your pathetic!!!
I just love Bogart. Even the movies that weren't suppose to be so good like Chained Lightning. I loved all of them because he brought something to each movie that no other hollywood star could bring. That instantly recognizable voice, his charismatic presence and talent. I just wish there was a Humphrey Bogart around these days....
@girlishfun Humphrey Bogart is the greatest actor of all time for a reason. He had talent and charisma, and such a force of personality. He brought everything he was in to life and John Huston was right when he said in his eulogy that there never will be another like him. It was heartbreaking that he was given bit parts for the first ten years of his career and also heart-breaking that he died too early.
@FrankClanton And the oscar for biggest loser who's opinion no one gives a shit about because it's so full of resentment, bitterness and jealousy because his mother either held him too much or not enough and will probably never truly idmit to anyone besides himself what a shitty person he actually is goes too....FrankClanton, now you can shove the award in and out your ass and pretend your getting sodomized by Bogie which deep down is probably what you think about when you see him you closet fag
Such a great actor...I can't understand why anyone would think differently... and a great guy too. Of course there are always other good actors but it is so easy to belittle an achievement after the fact. The point is that it is Bogart - and noone else- who did such amazing things on screen.
John and Humphrey were the only ones among the whole cast and crew who didn't get stomach bugs due to the amount of alcohol they sterilised their stomachs with!
Bogart was a giant of the screen, like Kate and Spencer. There aren't any current actors that can hold a candle to them. The golden age of cinema has passed.
@Arcaneshadows But it wasn't just the leads that made older movies better; it was also the depth of the character actors surrounding them. Nowadays, the leads and the supporting casts all seem popped from the same dull mold. I miss Sydney Greenstreet, for example, nearly as much as I miss Bogie.
That's very true. It's hard to find a John Wayne movie without Ward Bond or Barry Fitzgerald. The character actors were not just trimming thrown in for measure. They added so much to the film.
Yes indeed, right down to the scullery maids those pros provided a tapestry for the leads to play off. Leads today play off 8X10 glossies. Anyone resembling a true character actor today is some schmo they pulled off the streets on location to save a buck.
@Arcaneshadows And Gene Autery with side kick Smilely. So many actors, actress and charactor actors that blessed the Movie Screen. So very very few can come CLOSE to such GREATS. And back then they got paied NOTHING close to what actors are paied today BUT had far far far more TALENT.
Uh, yes, he was. He didn't have 'pretty boy' looks but was considered ruggedly handsome at best. The fact he could perform well despite that is a testament to his acting abilities. As for his 'ZERO range' as you claim, just watch 'Casablanca', 'The African Queen', 'The Caine Mutiny', and 'We're No Angels' to see the great range of acting he could produce. A master of his trade, one recognized by critics and peers then and now.
Really, Frank? Then perhaps you could explain why he was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as Capt. Queeg in 'The Caine Mutiny'? You can make your case for how he looked. No, he wasn't a 'pretty boy'. That's obvious. But looks don't mean everything as he worked practically up until the day he died, so his talent was able to overcome his physical detriments, even while dying of cancer. It's amazing the lack of respect those in here have for one of the greatest actors ever.
Ah, well, I assumed you were a genuine purist of cinema and acting. Your hateful remark about being glad someone died of cancer reveals the lack of humanity in you. You have my pity. For the record, Bogart is ranked No.1 on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest screen actors. Go ahead and continue to troll, I will not waste any further remarks or time with the likes of you.

Brando was far better than the talentless ugly Bogart, who played the same part in every movie and just chain smoked and drank his way into an early death from cancer.
@Arcaneshadows I am with you. And they cant read or they would know who the subject of the video was and not waste thier time on people they hate. My time is more valueable to me then waste it on someone or thing I have 0 regard for.
@Arcaneshadows OMG I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE all those movies. And you are right a great rang . Back then each one had thier own style BUT could still have a great range and nearly all of then did. What I find sad is people cant read or they would see the subject matter of the video, if you have 0 regard WHY waste your time, is thier life THAT empty
Sage-yeah that must be why 55 years after his death he's considered one of the great actors of all time. Of course every asshole has an opinion, you've proven that.
@JuanMacready Many people have gotten cancer and that is dreadful. Try getting cancer and see how you cope BUT I do not wish that on you, I AM JUST SAYING.. Brando was ok but hardy if Bogart s class OR James Dean. . I could really say something about who the loser is but...oh well.
@JuanMacready Had Bogart lived thru the cancer he woud have been past 70 when they flimed the Godfather so tat would have been interesting. I think he would have played the charactor Tom brilliantly. Instead of Tom being a friend of Sonny s , maybe someone who befirended Vito when he first came to the USA. Or got him out of a tight jam. The mind could go many places with that. Anyway the Godfather was mainly about Micael and both Bogart and Brando would have lost out.
Kate looks unwell because she caught dysentary during the making of this film. She dropped 20 pounds. Bogart and the director only drank alcohol, which spared them from dysentary. Kate was a tea totaller. She did smoke, but she was very healthy and athletic otherwise.
Btw, for anyone saying that Bogart often 'plays himself' as tough guy obviously doesn't know his early works on stage and one in 'the Big Sleep' where he often played a spoiled effeminated dandy. There was a scene in Big Sleep where he went to a book shop,i think, and went ''...mmmmm?' at the book seller was hilarious. lolol
Katherine Hepburn was very healthy and she was not an excessive smoker like Bogart. I don't even think she smoked. Bogart's excessive drinking also didn't help his health.
hey peterFilth you deserve to be booted off of YouTube for being a clueless tactless moron. To sling mud at a man that was one of the most popular actors of his generation, and has also been deceased for over 50 years is beyond the pale. After this EVERYONe just ignore whatever incoherent posts from peterfirth.
Bogie, was one of our better actors. The son of a doctor w/ aristocratic sensibility; he was far from the tough guy he honed and chiseled on screen for years. I think he felt he had paid his dues on the stage so the iconic movie star image didn't bother him, even if it was somewhat restricting. He earned it.
the the greatest actor--i once dated a guy who looked and sounded like him-name was wayne--i was only 18 at the time--i broke wayne's heart--but i never forgot helooked like humphrey bogart
Oh sure I saw his films, he only played himself though. Can't compare a one-note "actor" like Bogart with real actors like Marlon Brando, James Dean and Rod Steiger.
Huh? People said Cary Grant only ever played himself but Cary Grant wasn't real. Some Cockney from Bristol named Archie Leach made him up. Same with Bogie. How could the son of a doctor and a commercial artist, growing up in relative priviledge, "only play himself" by playing tough guys? In Brando's great roles (Last Tango, On the Waterfront, Streetcar, the Godfather) he plays these people who live at the margins the respectability. He never played comedy well, but he was a fine dramatic actor
@JuanMacready James Dean made THREE major movies. But he seriously died and couldnt make more. James Dean did admire Brando talet BUT James Dean surpassed and still surpasses Brando on EVERY leavel. sorr, meant talent.
If you want to watch a real gem, check out the Petrified Forest with Bogie, Bette Davis and Leslie Howard. Bogie's fashioned his character after John Dillinger and it's a phenomenal movie.
"1. Bogie (not Bogey) made a film together. It was called "Up the River"
--I've never heard of this, and I can't wait to see it, thank you. ( The misspelling of the nickname embarrasses me, I'm not even a golfer.)
"2. Yes, Bogart won an Oscar playing opposite Hepburn in "The African Queen." But John Wayne won his Oscar not for "Rooster Cogburn" with Hepburn in 1975 (he wasn't even nominated) but six years earlier, for "True Grit" (1969)
Yep, same character! I'd have loved to have seen Wayne play Rooster Cogburn in more than just these two films. And regarding Bogart, according to Bacall's bio, By Myself, he really wanted to make "Melville Goodwin U.S.A." with her in 1956 and probably still had the strength to do it, but the doctors convinced him to be operated on instead. Obviously, time proved it was already too late to save him; in retrospect it might've been fun to see him and Bacall in one last movie.
1.) Bogey and Tracy never made a movie together, as far as I know... what a damn shame, the way they would have underplayed each other would make Pacino and Deniro (both of whom I love) look like shameless scenery-chewers by comparison;
2.) Is Kate Hepburn the greatest co-star ever? The only time Bogey and John Wayne (two giant legends, for their very different screen-personae) ever won Oscars was when they each co-starred with HER. Think about it...
Great movie, great casting (Bogart's last gangster role). I'm surprised "second billing" was even an issue.
Related: I understand that John Huston originally started planning "The Man Who Would Be King" with Bogart and Clark Gable (who had never appeared in a film together), at the time of Bogart's fatal illness. Imagine that, had it happened... It was, of course, made, brilliantly, 30 years later with Michael Caine and Sean Connery.
Lauren Bacall's biography said that neither Tracy nor Bogart were willing to take second billing. Bogart himself did not like the finished film, saying he now looked too old to play gangster roles. The Desperate Hours had been played on stage by Paul Newman, so when Bogart was cast the character had to be made much older.
Tuxguys, you're actually incorrect on both counts.
1. Bogie (not Bogey) made a film together. It was called "Up the River" and it was directed by the great John Ford.
2. Yes, Bogart won an Oscar playing opposite Hepburn in "The African Queen." But John Wayne won his Oscar not for "Rooster Cogburn" with Hepburn in 1975 (he wasn't even nominated) but six years earlier, for "True Grit" (1969), a movie in which Hepburn did not appear.

OK let me explain something to everyone that seems so moved to comment here. Youtube is the place where one can act like a fool for no reason. If no one gave me the time of day, I wouldn't feel compelled to write back. Everything I post is partially in jest, and everyone should spend less time being offended, and more time attempting to think of witty (I stress witty here) replies. Lighten up, tune in and let Katharine Hepburn serve as the muse of which to rip strangers apart.
What are you a British lord? What the fuck does class have to do with my comments? I can tell by your first comment that you have no life. Just some bum sitting on his computer wondering what all the hollywood stars do when their home. You're in awe of their celebrity, I'm in awe of your stupidity. Outclass that motherfucker.
well said. I miss them all, and they all lived before my time. Movies now are made with computers, but these folks used their talent and the world was a better place for it for a long time.
tell me about it. Hollywood always makes out that actors and actresses hate each other. So when you see the strong friendship between them and sadness at one of them dying, its heartbreaking but also touching.
Bacall and Bogart were perfect for one another. And if katherine crying in this video? And at the end lauren really don't look to thrilled to be talking about bogie.
Four of the biggest talents mentioned here, Borart, Hepburn, Bacall and Tracy. What a foursome. Imagine dinner parties with those four. Thank you for sharing! Awesome to watch..
Lauren Bacall just turned 84 - still in good health, still working, and I am privileged to have her as a (distant) friend - an aquaintence, but a very charming one

@JuanMacready Many people have gotten cancer and that is dreadful. Try getting cancer and see how you cope BUT I do not wish that on you, I AM JUST SAYING.. Brando was ok but hardy if Bogart s class OR James Dean. . I could really say something about who the loser is but...oh well.
gibbdreamer 1 year ago
@gibbdreamer Well at least Brando played different characters and not just himself. Could you imagine Bogart in The Godfather? Quite.
JuanMacready 1 year ago
@JuanMacready Had Bogart lived thru the cancer he woud have been past 70 when they flimed the Godfather so tat would have been interesting. I think he would have played the charactor Tom brilliantly. Instead of Tom being a friend of Sonny s , maybe someone who befirended Vito when he first came to the USA. Or got him out of a tight jam. The mind could go many places with that. Anyway the Godfather was mainly about Micael and both Bogart and Brando would have lost out.

@gibbdreamer Perhaps you're right, Bogart could have played the Tom Hagen role. But I don't agree that the first film was mainly about Michael.

Kate looks unwell because she caught dysentary during the making of this film. She dropped 20 pounds. Bogart and the director only drank alcohol, which spared them from dysentary. Kate was a tea totaller. She did smoke, but she was very healthy and athletic otherwise.

Btw, for anyone saying that Bogart often 'plays himself' as tough guy obviously doesn't know his early works on stage and one in 'the Big Sleep' where he often played a spoiled effeminated dandy. There was a scene in Big Sleep where he went to a book shop,i think, and went ''...mmmmm?' at the book seller was hilarious. lolol

Katherine Hepburn was very healthy and she was not an excessive smoker like Bogart. I don't even think she smoked. Bogart's excessive drinking also didn't help his health.

Bogie, was one of our better actors. The son of a doctor w/ aristocratic sensibility; he was far from the tough guy he honed and chiseled on screen for years. I think he felt he had paid his dues on the stage so the iconic movie star image didn't bother him, even if it was somewhat restricting. He earned it.

lou1606 2 years ago
Huh? People said Cary Grant only ever played himself but Cary Grant wasn't real. Some Cockney from Bristol named Archie Leach made him up. Same with Bogie. How could the son of a doctor and a commercial artist, growing up in relative priviledge, "only play himself" by playing tough guys? In Brando's great roles (Last Tango, On the Waterfront, Streetcar, the Godfather) he plays these people who live at the margins the respectability. He never played comedy well, but he was a fine dramatic actor

"1. Bogie (not Bogey) made a film together. It was called "Up the River"
--I've never heard of this, and I can't wait to see it, thank you. ( The misspelling of the nickname embarrasses me, I'm not even a golfer.)
"2. Yes, Bogart won an Oscar playing opposite Hepburn in "The African Queen." But John Wayne won his Oscar not for "Rooster Cogburn" with Hepburn in 1975 (he wasn't even nominated) but six years earlier, for "True Grit" (1969)
--Honest error... same character, right?
tuxguys 2 years ago
Yep, same character! I'd have loved to have seen Wayne play Rooster Cogburn in more than just these two films. And regarding Bogart, according to Bacall's bio, By Myself, he really wanted to make "Melville Goodwin U.S.A." with her in 1956 and probably still had the strength to do it, but the doctors convinced him to be operated on instead. Obviously, time proved it was already too late to save him; in retrospect it might've been fun to see him and Bacall in one last movie.

timulair 2 years ago 5
Two thoughts:
1.) Bogey and Tracy never made a movie together, as far as I know... what a damn shame, the way they would have underplayed each other would make Pacino and Deniro (both of whom I love) look like shameless scenery-chewers by comparison;
2.) Is Kate Hepburn the greatest co-star ever? The only time Bogey and John Wayne (two giant legends, for their very different screen-personae) ever won Oscars was when they each co-starred with HER. Think about it...
tuxguys 2 years ago
Tracy was offered The Desperate Hours but wouldn't take second billing to Bogart, so Fredric March was cast.
PeterFirthFan 2 years ago
Great movie, great casting (Bogart's last gangster role). I'm surprised "second billing" was even an issue.
Related: I understand that John Huston originally started planning "The Man Who Would Be King" with Bogart and Clark Gable (who had never appeared in a film together), at the time of Bogart's fatal illness. Imagine that, had it happened... It was, of course, made, brilliantly, 30 years later with Michael Caine and Sean Connery.
tuxguys 2 years ago
Lauren Bacall's biography said that neither Tracy nor Bogart were willing to take second billing. Bogart himself did not like the finished film, saying he now looked too old to play gangster roles. The Desperate Hours had been played on stage by Paul Newman, so when Bogart was cast the character had to be made much older.
PeterFirthFan 2 years ago
Tuxguys, you're actually incorrect on both counts.
1. Bogie (not Bogey) made a film together. It was called "Up the River" and it was directed by the great John Ford.
2. Yes, Bogart won an Oscar playing opposite Hepburn in "The African Queen." But John Wayne won his Oscar not for "Rooster Cogburn" with Hepburn in 1975 (he wasn't even nominated) but six years earlier, for "True Grit" (1969), a movie in which Hepburn did not appear.

OK let me explain something to everyone that seems so moved to comment here. Youtube is the place where one can act like a fool for no reason. If no one gave me the time of day, I wouldn't feel compelled to write back. Everything I post is partially in jest, and everyone should spend less time being offended, and more time attempting to think of witty (I stress witty here) replies. Lighten up, tune in and let Katharine Hepburn serve as the muse of which to rip strangers apart.
