My wife and I are Bogart fans, and I agree with your take - although I couldn't have articulated it like you did. <BR/><BR/><I>Key Largo</I> and <I>The Maltese Falcon</I> are worth a look if you like vintage Bogart.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135729997685992811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640521.post-1131457323906116392005-11-08T07:42:00.000-06:002005-11-08T07:42:00.000-06:00Thanks to both of you for your kind responses.Grob...Thanks to both of you for your kind responses.<BR/>Grobie: I don't think I've heard of it, but you make it sound intriguing. After seeing <I>The Misfits</I> (Gable's and Monroe's last film), I've become interested in seeing late work by actors, though, as is usual with me, I've not exactly made a list and sought them out.

Another great 'distinctive' Bogart performance, but measured from the opposite end of the spectrum, so to speak: this is Bogart fairly late in his career playing 'against' the already established hard-boiled image. It's an excellent film, and a brilliant performance from Bogey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
