Humphrey Bogart (1899-1957) is one of the huge stars of yesteryear and deserving of some comments, shared recollections, and general discussion.
If you're a fan, or simply an appreciator, if there's anything you'd like to say or share, please do.

There are three movies I remember him from. "The Maltese Falcon, 1941" (as Sam Spade), "Casablanca, 1943" (as Rick Blaine) and "The Big Sleep, 1946" (as Philip Marlowe). Wearing a trench coat and a fedora hat, and with his look ("Here's looking at you, kid") he will always be the quintessential private detective to me. Even when he played other roles, like in "Casablanca".

My fave Bogie movies are The Petrified Forest, The Big Sleep, and The African Queen. But I'm also a definite fan of the other films you mentioned.

There’s few actors around even today who have a back catalogue of so many great films!
