Is Key Largo the movie that Bogey-McCall are in a train station, ---


Is Key Largo the movie that Bogey-McCall are in a train station, and Bogey buys a train ticket?

If not this movie, would anyone know which of their movies together, that that scene happened in?

Thanks,

Jim

I think you may be talking about Casablanca.

Umm...I'm not sure who "McCall" is. There is no one named McCall in Key Largo. Now there is a Lauren Bacall in the movie and no, neither she nor "McCall" are in the movie Casablanca. I do not think there is a train station scene in Key Largo so whatever you are thinking, it is not in Key Largo.

Sorry... I meant Bacall

I know it is not Casablanca....

I saw just a little bit of the movie that I want to watch, but don't know which one of the Bogey - Bacall movies it is.

The irony of the clip that I saw, is in how some people of today think that people in the past were kinder and nicer to each other back then, than they are now.... but in the clip, Bogey and Bacall were in a train station, and Bogey went to the ticket counter to buy a ticket, and for some reason, the clerk was really rude, and giving Bogey a hard time.... there were two older men sitting in a bench, and they overheard the clerk being nasty... and one man said to the other, it's not like the old days, when people were nicer to each other.

The movie was probably made in the 40's or 50's, but the irony was that the people way back then in the 50's, thought that the generation that preceded them, were nicer.

Perhaps you are thinking of To Have and Have Not.

In the beginning of that movie Bogey has a run-in with a clerk.









Everybody censors, including you.

I believe the movie you are thinking of is Dark Passage. It's an interesting noir film with Bogart playing an escaped convict, and it's filmed from his point of view for about 1/3 of the movie. You don't see Bogart's face until after he has plastic surgery. The scene you are talking about is almost at the end when he leaves town to head for South America. The clerk is rather rude and a woman and man in the waiting area comment that people aren't as nice as they used to be.

It's a pretty good noir movie, and it keeps you guessing. Check it out on Netflix. I have a set from TCM with all four of the Bogart/Bacall movies and enjoy watching them. My fave is To Have and Have Not.

Thanks for your reply... I watched, "To and To Have Not" yesterday, but the scene that I was looking for was not there.

I thought it was very ironic, that in today's times people say that in the past, "people aren't as nice as they used to be in the old days," thinking it was better in the '50's.

But in the clip of the Bogey movie that I had seen, that was made in the '50's, the people in the waiting area had made the same comment.
