The cudos go to the author, O. Sharp. :)

Very enjoyable, thank you for posting but I wish there were more credits in your search criteria and I would have spotted this great video much sooner. At 6:01 to 6:10 that's Elisha Cook following Bogart. Could you add him to the credits even if his role isn't a speaking one? There are a lot of character actor fans who are also Tolkien fans!

[TheHutt]

Sure, no problem. :)

hahaha! He should take the bus to Mordor!!!

[ChillMusikHardMusik]

wow, he is the smartest frodo ever!

[psyclone7]

NOOO!!

[33serenade]

is this really a parody or did you just edit the whole thing with Bogart's movie clip?

[Pushtrak]

@HuggableSpongebob Really, though, noir movies in colour would not have worked. At all.

Get out of my way, you Flame of Udun! :D

The "War Bonds" bit at the end was a really nice touch. Great job.

Peter Lorre as Gollum/Smeagol is the best thing to happen ever. It's just too perfect.

[kandikid2308]

ahahahaha good job

I am a major Bogard fan and I loved this. Which movies did you use? I saw:

Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, Big Sleep, The Third Man (clever, Bogart was not even in it), Godzilla (also not a Bogie), and M (again, not a Bogie), and Dark Passage.

Bogart was a kick ass Frodo. The Dark forces would not stand a chance against the guy.

It's weird that in 1939 The Wizard of Oz got their film in color (well,most of it) and 1940 movies are black and white!

I think we're close enough from here! lol!!!
