One of the most seductive scenes in a Bogart movie.

[Tommygun264]

I studied this movie in a college film class and the professor who taught the class told us that it was said that Dorothy Malone got so nervous when she got close to Bogart, that she kept shaking the paper cup as she held it up. Finally, after several blown takes, the prop master came up with the idea to put a small weight used to keep standing lights from tipping over in the bottom of her cup to keep it from shaking.

@Jujuman2003 Your ignorance of the relationship between Bogart and Bacall is only exceeded by your obvious lack of experience with the fairer sex.

[metallicstucco]

If that's the closest they came to having sex back then, it's a miracle I was conceived.

@Piecesof8 She married him because he's Humphrey fucking Bogart, the rich Hollywood superstar. She wouldn't give him a second look if he were a penniless private eye as in this movie.

@Jujuman2003

One of those hot women, Lauren Bacall, married the guy. Charisma and confidence go a long way, and he had those in spades (no pun intended, Maltese Falcon fans).

It's funny how this scene plays out. It doesn't even come close to this, at all. Marlowe just goes in and asks for some information and leaves.

It's interesting to see how much they changed not only this, but the entire movie. I wonder if Bogart had any influence in it.

[Jujuman2003]

This is so fucking retarded. Humphrey Bogart looks like a pervert who jerks off to Big Jugs Magazine, but in the movies, all the hot women are undressing him with their eyes. Give me a break.

[DidiRibbons]

Bogart is Brilliant.

@cronicd21 A lot of these old films weren't as innocent as you think, ya shee? *smokes a cigar*

How come I can't find hot bookstore owners like this? Bogey gets them, and Eastwood in Magnum Force just has to come home to his apartment and he get's some. Some guys have all the luck.

Wooooooow. Definitely a new fantasy for me.
