The chemistry these two had on screen...and in real life was extraordinary!! Here we are, roughly sixty-to-seventy years later and we're still talking about them. From my vantage point, they were a match made in Heaven--part of that marvelous 'Golden Age of Hollywood.'

This is the only one that matters. Well, not exactly. But in my mind it doesn't get any better than this one.
sharerocco: "what's worse... a dumb bell or a wise guy?", curly: "a wise guy i guess". i like this flick, but really nothing beats "key largo" in these sort of movies, and edward g. robinson as rocco completely stole the show, that has probably my favorite dialogue ever, and that was just one that came to mind... here's another i just thought of, woman: "the boss, he can go to... (boss walks in)... hello darling.", but i agree, back when i received tcm this was one of my favorite movies to tune into as well, though "dark passage" had my favorite plot, a re occurring buzz about this movie is people not quite grasping the plot, still it's enjoyable because of the dialogue and acting, it's sort of a shocker when bogart says he's 38, he looks around 60 but actually was only about a decade older than 38 i guess. i was really surprised how short the skirt was on the woman at the beginning of the movie, i didn't think that went in movies of this era, funny how the kid sister in this is all over bogart like a naughty tick on a dog and still bogart goes for the tough big sister who won't give him the time of day initially, as she gives the funny line "you're a mess, aren't you", i've got a feeling there is no way some of the dialogue and treatment of the kid sister would pass in a modern movie, like when bogart says to the man: "you ought to... (words i don't even know what they are therefore can't spell it out)... she's old enough", and when he picks her up like a kid and throws her on the bed to sleep it off until she sobers up. i always found it a bit odd, well very odd, how their daddy in the wheelchair has such an important long scene at the beginning of the movie never to appear again.

spaceship for explore,
but i slept over dawn,
when i came to you were gone,
now im stuck on earth nowhere of going,
since i missed you this morning.
I love their movies together! To Have and Have Not is my favorite.
shareThis is my first film regarding Bogey and Bacall. Their chemistry was cool. Lauren stated in an interview years ago, that friends warned her about Bogart"s unstable, jealous wife Mayo Methot. They warned her that Mayo was not above dropping a lamp on her head. Ouch and Damn! Lauren was lucky to escape bodi!y harm. As far as I know of.
shareDon't think they can compare to Will and Jada Smith. 100 years from now, boards like this will still be talking about them
