LOL, I didn't even recognise him. I thought, 'who is that incredibly attractive man? I'll look him up. Bogart!? Really? Wow.'
Usually I find him quite unappealing and his voice annoys me. But I here I thought he was very sexy
Never, never, never, never, never
I was thinking the same thing – he looked like Humphrey Bogart's handsome brother. I guess he was a looker in his younger days before life and its temptations took their toll.
shareYes before 1941 Bogie was better looking, from 1936 to 1941 he aged a lot in 6 years. His earlier movies of the 30's are interesting curiosities. But I like the later older Bogart as well. You should watch him in a film called "Love Affair" in 1932 or "Up The River" in 1930 he was incredibly handsome. He looked like a matinee idol. In "Love Affair" he played an aircraft engineer that gives flying lessons to a rich girl who he falls in love with. In "Up The River" he plays a rich kid that gets sent to prison. He usually played romantic juvenile roles on the Broadway stage in the 1920's & early 30's.
shareI too was really surprised at how handsome he was in this film.
shareWhen Bogart began his stage career, he always played the handsome young man and when he went West to be in movies he played those same roles. Ironically, this movies is directly tied to hos losing his boyish good looks.
He met his third with Mayo Methot (who played Estelle) while making this movie. she was already a violent alcoholic and the two of them were like gas and fire. They both would drunk nearly every day and havce major fights. His nickname for her was Sluggy, if that gives you an idea of what their life was like.
The longer they married, the worse he drinking became and there were a few incidents where she brandished guns and other weapons at him. The constant heavy drinking, smoking and stress aged him and caused a lot of his hair to fall out.
And *that* is how we got the Humphrey Bogart most of us are familiar with.
Darling, I am trouble of the most spectacular kind!
