He is widely regarded as a cultural icon. The American Film Institute ranked Bogart as the greatest male star in the history of American cinema. After trying various jobs. Bogart began acting in 1921 and became a regular in Broadway productions in the 1920s and 1930s. When the stock market crash of 1929 reduced the demand for plays. Bogart turned to film. His first great success was as Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest (1936). And this led to a period of typecasting as a gangster with films such as Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) and B-movies like The Return of Doctor X (1939). His breakthrough as a leading man came in 1941. With High Sierra and The Maltese Falcon. Raised him to the peak of his profession and. At the same time. That of the hard-boiled cynic who ultimately shows his noble side. Including To Have and Have Not (1944); The Big Sleep (1946); Dark Passage (1947) and. With his wife Lauren Bacall; The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948); In a Lonely Place (1950); The African Queen (1951). For which he won his only Academy Award; Sabrina (1954); and The Caine Mutiny (1954). His last movie was The Harder They Fall (1956). During a film career of almost thirty years. He appeared in 75 feature films. Bogart was born on December 25. The eldest child of Dr. Belmont DeForest Bogart July 1867. New York City and Maud Humphrey 1868? Belmont and Maud married in June 1898. Comes from the Dutch surname? It is derived from the word? A short name for? Bogart’s father was a Presbyterian of English and Dutch descent; his mother was an Episcopalian of English descent. Bogart was raised in his mother’s faith. Bogart’s birthday has been a subject of controversy; according to Warner Bros. He was born on Christmas Day. Others believe that this was a fiction created by the studio in order to romanticize their star. And that he was actually born on January 23. This story is now considered baseless: although no birth certificate has ever been found. His birth notice did appear in a. Newspaper in early January 1900. Which supports the December 1899 date. As do other sources. Such as the 1900 census. Was a cardiopulmonary surgeon. Was a commercial illustrator. Who received her art training in. Including study with James McNeill Whistler. And who later became artistic director of the fashion magazine The Delineator. She was a militant suffragette. She used a drawing of baby Humphrey in a well-known ad campaign for Mellins Baby Food. Then a vast sum. The Bogarts lived in a fashionable Upper West Side apartment. And had an elegant cottage on a fifty-five acre estate in upstate. Humphrey’s gang of friends at the lake would put on theatricals. Humphrey was the oldest of three children; he had two younger sisters. Frances and Catherine Elizabeth (Kay). His parents were very formal. Busy in their careers. Resulting in little emotion directed at the children. I was brought up very unsentimentally but very straightforwardly. Our mother and father didn? T glug over my two sisters and me. Bogart was teased for his curls. The “cute” pictures his mother had him pose for. The Little Lord Fauntleroy clothes she dressed him in? And the name Humphrey. Bogart inherited a tendency for needling people. A fondness for fishing. A life-long love of boating. And an attraction to strong-willed women. The Bogarts sent their son to private schools. Bogart began school at the. When he was enrolled in. He was an indifferent. Sullen student who showed no interest in after-school activities. Later he went to the prestigious preparatory school. Where he was admitted based on family connections. They hoped he would go on to Yale. The details of his expulsion are disputed: one story claims that he was expelled for throwing the headmaster alternatively. A groundskeeper into Rabbit Pond. A man-made lake on campus. Another cites smoking and drinking. Combined with poor academic performance and possibly some inappropriate comments made to the staff. It has also been said that he was actually withdrawn from the school by his father for failing to improve his academics. As opposed to expulsion. His parents were deeply dismayed by the events and their failed plans for his future. With no viable career options. Bogart followed his love for the sea and enlisted in the United States Navy in the spring of 1918. War was great stuff. Bogart is recorded as a model sailor who spent most of his months in the Navy after the Armistice was signed. Ferrying troops back from. Though the actual circumstances are unclear. His lip was cut by a piece of shrapnel. Although some claim Bogart did not make it to sea until after the Armistice with Germany was signed. Which Bogart’s long time friend. Claims is the truth. Is that Bogart was injured while on assignment to take a naval prisoner to Portsmouth Naval Prison in. While changing trains in. The handcuffed prisoner asked Bogart for a cigarette and while Bogart looked for a match. The prisoner raised his hands. Smashed Bogart across the mouth with his cuffs. Cutting Bogart’s lip. The prisoner was eventually taken to. An alternate explanation is in the process of uncuffing an inmate. Bogart was struck in the mouth when the inmate wielded one open. Uncuffed bracelet while the other side was still on his wrist. By the time Bogart was treated by a doctor. The scar had already formed. Bogart later told David Niven. Instead of stitching it up. He screwed it up. Niven says that when he asked Bogart about his scar he said it was caused by a childhood accident; Niven claims the stories that Bogart got the scar during wartime were made up by the studios to inject glamour. His post-service physical makes no mention of the lip scar even though it mentions many smaller scars. So the actual cause may have come later. When actress Louise Brooks met Bogart in 1924. He had some scarred tissue on his upper lip. Which Belmont Bogart may have partially repaired before Bogart went into films in 1930. She believes his scar had nothing to do with his distinctive speech pattern. His lip wound gave him no speech impediment. Either before or after it was mended. Bogart practiced all kinds of lip gymnastics. Accompanied by nasal tones. His fiendish grin were the most accomplished ever seen on film. His medical practice was faltering. During his naval days. Bogart’s character and values developed independent of family influence. And he began to rebel somewhat against their values. He came to be a liberal who hated pretensions. And at times he defied conventional behavior and authority. Traits he displayed in life and in his movies. On the other hand. He retained their traits of good manners. And a dislike of being touched. After his naval service. Bogart worked as a shipper and then bond salesman. He joined the Naval Reserve. He resumed his friendship with boyhood pal Bill Brady. Whose father had show business connections. And eventually Bogart got an office job working for William A. S new company World Films. Bogart got to try his hand at screenwriting. But excelled at none. He was stage manager for Brady’s daughter’s play A Ruined Lady. A few months later. Bogart made his stage debut in Drifting as a Japanese butler in another Alice Brady play. Nervously speaking one line of dialog. Several more appearances followed in her subsequent plays. Bogart liked the late hours actors kept. And enjoyed the attention an actor got on stage. I was born to be indolent and this was the softest of rackets? He spent a lot of his free time in speakeasies and became a heavy drinker. A barroom brawl during this time might have been the actual cause of Bogart’s lip damage. As this coincides better with the Louise Brooks account. Bogart had been raised to believe acting was beneath a gentleman. But he enjoyed stage acting. He never took acting lessons. But was persistent and worked steadily at his craft. He appeared in at least seventeen Broadway productions between 1922 and 1935. He played juveniles or romantic second-leads in drawing room comedies. He is said to have been the first actor to ask Tennis. Critic Alexander Woollcott wrote of Bogart’s early work that he is what is usually and mercifully described as inadequate. Some reviews were kinder. Humphrey Bogart gives the most effective performance. Both dry and fresh. If that be possible? Bogart loathed the trivial. Effeminate parts he had to play early in his career. Calling them “White Pants Willie” roles. Early in his career. While playing double roles in the play Drifting at the Playhouse Theatre in 1922. Bogart met actress Helen Menken. They were married on May 20. 1926 at the Gramercy Park Hotel in. Divorced on November 18. He married Mary Philips at her mother’s apartment in. Had a fiery temper and. Like every other Bogart spouse. He had met Mary when they appeared in the play Nerves. Which had a very brief run at the Comedy Theatre in September 1924. After the stock market crash of 1929. Stage production dropped off sharply. And many of the more photogenic actors headed for. Bogart’s earliest film role is with Helen Hayes in the 1928 two-reeler The Dancing Town. Of which a complete copy has never been found. He also appeared with Joan Blondell and Ruth Etting in a Vitaphone short. Broadway’s Like That (1930) which was re-discovered in 1963. Spencer Tracy was a serious Broadway actor whom Bogart liked and admired. And they became good friends and drinking buddies. Who first called him “Bogey”. Spelled variously in many sources. Bogart himself spelled his nickname “Bogie”. Tracy and Bogart appeared in their only film together in John Ford’s early sound film Up the River (1930). With both playing inmates. Bogart then performed in The Bad Sister with Bette Davis in 1931. In a minor part. Bogart shuttled back and forth between. Stage from 1930 to 1935. Suffering long periods without work. His parents had separated. Died in 1934 in debt. Which Bogart eventually paid off. Bogart inherited his father’s gold ring which he always wore. Even in many of his films. At his father’s deathbed. How much he loved him. Bogart’s second marriage was on the rocks. And he was less than happy with his acting career to date; he became depressed. Bogart starred in the Broadway play Invitation to a Murder at the Theatre Masque. Now the John Golden Theatre. The producer Arthur Hopkins heard the play from off-stage and sent for Bogart to play escaped murderer Duke Mantee in Robert E. Sherwood’s new play. When I saw the actor I was somewhat taken aback. For he was the one I never much admired. He was an antiquated juvenile who spent most of his stage life in white pants swinging a tennis racquet. He seemed as far from a cold-blooded killer as one could get. But the voice (dry and tired) persisted. And the voice was Mantee’s. The play had 197 performances at the Broadhurst Theatre in. New York Times critic Brooks Atkinson said of the play. A roaring Western melodrama. Humphrey Bogart does the best work of his career as an actor. Bogart said the play? Marked my deliverance from the ranks of the sleek. To which I seemed condemned to life. He was still feeling insecure. Bought the screen rights to The Petrified Forest. The studio was famous for its socially-realistic. Low-budget action pictures; the play seemed like the perfect property for it. Especially since the public was entranced by real-life criminals like John Dillinger (whom Bogart resembled) and Dutch Schultz. Bette Davis and Leslie Howard were cast. Who held production rights. Made it clear he wanted Bogart to star with him. The studio tested several. Veterans for the Duke Mantee role. And chose Edward G. Who had first-rank star appeal and was due to make a film to fulfill his expensive contract. Bogart cabled news of this to Howard. Howard cabled reply was. Att: Jack Warner Insist Bogart Play Mantee No Bogart No Deal L. Saw that Howard would not budge. They gave in and cast Bogart. Famous for butting heads with his stars. Tried to get Bogart to adopt a stage name. But Bogart stubbornly refused. Bogart never forgot Howard’s favor. And in 1952 he named his only daughter “Leslie Howard” after Howard. Who had died in World War II under mysterious circumstances. Sherwood remained a close friend of Bogart’s. The film version of The Petrified Forest was released in 1936. His performance was called? Despite his success in an? Bogart was proud of his success. But the fact that it came from playing a gangster weighed on him. I can’t get in a mild discussion without turning it into an argument. There must be something in my tone of voice. Or this arrogant face? Something that antagonizes everybody. Nobody likes me on sight. I suppose that’s why I’m cast as the heavy. Bogart’s roles were not only repetitive. But physically demanding and draining (studios were not yet air-conditioned). Tightly-scheduled job at Warners was not exactly the? Actor’s life he hoped for. He was always professional and generally respected by other actors. In those “B movie” years. Bogart started developing his lasting film persona? Self-mocking loner with a core of honor. Bogart’s disputes with Warner Bros. Such as Bette Davis. And Olivia de Havilland. Then at its most entrenched. Usually restricted actors to one studio. Had no interest in making Bogart a top star. Shooting on a new movie might begin days or only hours after shooting on the previous one was completed. Any actor who refused a role could be suspended without pay. Bogart disliked the roles chosen for him. But he worked steadily: between 1936 and 1940. Bogart averaged a movie every two months. Sometimes even working on two simultaneously. As movies were not generally shot sequentially. Amenities at Warners were few compared to those for their fellow actors at MGM. Bogart thought that the Warners wardrobe department was cheap. And often wore his own suits in his movies. Bogart used his own pet dog Zero to play his character’s dog Pard. The leading men ahead of Bogart at Warner Bros. Included not just such classic stars as James Cagney and Edward G. But also actors far less well-known today. Such as Victor McLaglen. George Raft and Paul Muni. Most of the studio’s better movie scripts went to these men. And Bogart had to take what was left. He made films like Racket Busters. And You Can’t Get Away with Murder. The only substantial leading role he got during this period was in Dead End (1937). While loaned to Samuel Goldwyn. Where he portrayed a gangster modeled after Baby Face Nelson. He did play a variety of interesting supporting roles. Such as in Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) (in which his character got shot by James Cagney’s). Bogart was gunned down on film repeatedly by Cagney and Edward G. In Black Legion (1937). He played a good man caught up and destroyed by a racist organization. A movie Graham Greene called? Put him in a “hillbilly musical” called Swing Your Lady as a wrestling promoter; he later apparently considered this his worst film performance. Bogart played a mad scientist in The Return of Doctor X. If it’d been Jack Warner’s blood. I wouldn’t have minded so much. The trouble was they were drinking mine and I was making this stinking movie. In her own sizzling stage hit A Touch of Brimstone (1935). Refused to give up her Broadway career to go to. After the play closed. But insisted on continuing her career (she was still a bigger star than he was). And they decided to divorce in 1937. Bogart entered into a disastrous third marriage. With actress Mayo Methot. Friendly woman when sober. But paranoid when drunk. She was convinced that her husband was cheating on her. The more she and Bogart drifted apart. The more she drank. Got furious and threw things at him: plants. Anything close at hand. She even set the house on fire. Stabbed him with a knife. And slashed her wrists on several occasions. Bogart for his part needled her mercilessly and seemed to enjoy confrontation. Sometimes he turned violent. The press accurately dubbed them “the Battling Bogarts”. “The Bogart-Methot marriage was the sequel to the Civil War”. Said their friend Julius Epstein. A wag observed that there was “madness in his Methot”. Bogart bought a motor launch. Which he named Sluggy after his nickname for his hot-tempered wife. Despite his proclamations that “I like a jealous wife”. We get on so well together (because) we don? T have illusions about each other. And “I wouldn’t give you two cents for a dame without a temper”. It was a highly destructive relationship. Bogart bought a 55-foot (17 m) sailing yacht. From actor Dick Powell. The sea was his sanctuary and he loved to sail around. He was a serious sailor. Respected by other sailors who had seen too many. Actors and their boats. About 30 weekends a year. He went out on his boat. An actor needs something to stabilize his personality. Something to nail down what he really is. Not what he is currently pretending to be. He had a lifelong disgust for the pretentious. As his son Stephen told Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne in 1999. And disgusted by the inferior movies he was performing in. Bogart cultivated the persona of a soured idealist. A man exiled from better things in New York. Living by his wits. Cursed to live out his life among second-rate people and projects. Bogart rarely saw his own films and avoided premieres. He even protected his privacy with invented press releases about his private life to satisfy the curiosity of the newspapers and the public. When he thought an actor. Director or a movie studio had done something shoddy. He spoke up about it and was willing to be quoted. He advised Robert Mitchum that the only way to stay alive in. Was to be an “againster”. He was not the most popular of actors. And some in the. Community shunned him privately to avoid trouble with the studios. They are continually advising me Oh. You mustn’t say that. That will get you in a lot of trouble when I remark that some picture or writer or director or producer is no good. I don’t get it. If he isn’t any good. Why can’t you say so? If more people would mention it. Pretty soon it might start having some effect. A 1941 movie directed by Raoul Walsh. Had a screenplay written by Bogart’s friend and drinking partner. Adapted from the novel by W. Both Paul Muni and George Raft turned down the lead role. Giving Bogart the opportunity to play a character of some depth. Although legendary director Walsh initially fought the casting of supporting player Bogart as a leading man. Much preferring Raft for the part. The film was Bogart’s last major film playing a gangster (his final gangster role was in The Big Shot in 1942). Bogart worked well with Ida Lupino. And her relationship with him was a close one. Provoking jealousy from Bogart’s wife Mayo. The film cemented a strong personal and professional connection between Bogart and Huston. Bogart admired and somewhat envied Huston for his skill as a writer. Though a poor student. Bogart was a lifelong reader. He could quote Plato. Ralph Waldo Emerson and over a thousand lines of Shakespeare. He subscribed to the Harvard Law Review. And some of his best friends were screenwriters. Nathaniel Benchley and Nunnally Johnson. Provocative conversation and stiff drinks. Both were rebellious and liked to play childish pranks. John Huston was reported to be easily bored during production. And admired Bogart (who also got bored easily off camera) not just for his acting talent but for his intense concentration on the set. Raft turned down the male lead in John Huston’s directorial debut The Maltese Falcon (1941). Due to its being a cleaned up version of the pre-Production Code The Maltese Falcon (1931). His contract stipulating that he did not have to appear in remakes. Written by Dashiell Hammett. Was first published in the pulp magazine Black Mask in 1929. It was also the basis for another movie version. Satan Met a Lady (1936) starring Bette Davis. Complementing Bogart were co-stars Sydney Greenstreet. And Mary Astor as the treacherous female foil. Bogart’s sharp timing and facial expressions as private detective Sam Spade were praised by the cast and director as vital to the quick action and rapid-fire dialogue. The film was a huge hit and for Huston. A triumphant directorial debut. Bogart was unusually happy with it. It is practically a masterpiece. T have many things I? But that’s one. Along with his many other landmark performances. Bogart could lay claim to having performed the quintessential cinema portrayals of the two iconic protagonists of American hard boil detective literature. Hammett’s Spade and later Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe in “The Big Sleep” (1946). Bogart gained his first real romantic lead in 1942’s. The hard-pressed expatriate nightclub owner. Hiding from the past and negotiating a fine line among Nazis. Prefect and unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend. The film was directed by Michael Curtiz. Produced by Hal Wallis and featured a strong cast. Peter Lorre and Dooley Wilson. Bogart played tournament chess. One level below master level and often played with crew members and cast off the set. It was reportedly his idea that Rick Blaine be portrayed as a chess player. Which also served as a metaphor for the sparring relationship of the characters played by Bogart and Rains in the movie. Paul Henreid proved to be the best player. The on-screen magic of Bogart and Bergman was the result of two actors doing their very best work. Not any real-life sparks. Though Bogart’s perennially jealous wife assumed otherwise. The co-stars hardly spoke during the filming. Where normally she had a reputation for affairs with her leading men. Because Bergman was taller than her leading man. Bogart had 3-inch (76 mm) blocks attached to his shoes in certain scenes. She reportedly said later. I kissed him but I never knew him. After Bergman had taken up with Italian director Roberto Rossellini. And bore him a child. “You used to be a great star”. What are you now? Won the 1943 Academy Award for Best Picture. Bogart was nominated for the Best Actor in a Leading Role. But lost out to Paul Lukas for his performance in Watch on the Rhine. It was a huge triumph. The film vaulted him from fourth place to first in the studio’s roster. Finally exceeding James Cagney. 000 per year by 1946. Making him the highest paid actor in the world. Bogart met Lauren Bacall while filming To Have and Have Not (1944). A loose adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway novel. The movie has many similarities with. The same kind of hero. Even a piano player sidekick (this time Hoagy Carmichael). Bacall was nineteen and Bogart was forty-five. He nicknamed her Baby. She had been a model since she was sixteen and had acted in two failed plays. Bogart was drawn to Bacall’s high cheekbones. As well as her poise and earthy. I just saw your test. Ll have a lot of fun together? Their physical and emotional rapport was very strong from the start. And the age difference and different acting experience also created the additional dimension of a mentor-student relationship. Quite contrary to the. It was his first affair with a leading lady. Bogart was still miserably married and his early meetings with Bacall were discreet and brief. Their separations bridged by ardent love letters. The relationship made it much easier for the newcomer to make her first film. And Bogart did his best to put her at ease by joking with her and quietly coaching her. He let her steal scenes and even encouraged it. Also did his best to boost her performance and her role. And found Bogart easy to direct. Hawks at some point began to disapprove of the pair. Hawks considered himself her protector and mentor. And Bogart was usurping that role. Hawks fell for Bacall as well normally he avoided his starlets. And he was married. Hawks told her that she meant nothing to Bogart and even threatened to send her to Monogram. The worst studio in. Bogart calmed her down and then went after Hawks. Jack Warner settled the dispute and filming resumed. Hawks said of Bacall: Bogie fell in love with the character she played. So she had to keep playing it the rest of her life. Just months after wrapping the film. Bogart and Bacall were re-united for their second movie together. The film noir The Big Sleep. Based on the novel by Raymond Chandler. Again with script help from William Faulkner. Thoroughly admired Bogart’s performance: Bogart can be tough without a gun. He has a sense of humor that contains that grating undertone of contempt. The film holds a rare niche in. History as having been completed and slated for release in 1945. Then withdrawn and substantially re-edited with new. Juiced up scenes added to better exploit the box office chemistry that shined between Bogie and Bacall in “To Have and Have Not” and the notoriety of their personal relationship. “After the public’s response to Bacall’s debut performance in “To Have and Have Not at the urging of director Howard Hawks production partner Charles K. Scenes were re-written to heighten the insolent’ quality that had intrigued critics and audiences in that film. A 35 mm nitrate composite master positive (fine grain) of the 1945 version survived. The UCLA Film Archive. In association with Turner Entertainment and with funding provided by Hugh M. The original film was restored and released in comparison with the 1946 version in 1996. Bogart was still torn between his new love and his sense of duty to his marriage. The mood on the set was tense. The actors both emotionally exhausted as Bogart tried to find a way out of his dilemma. Especially in the newly shot scenes. Was full of sexual innuendo supplied by Hawks. And Bogart is convincing and enduring as private detective Philip Marlowe. The film was very successful. Though some critics found the plot confusing and overly complicated. Himself could not answer the question who killed the limousine driver in the story when the baffled screenwriters called him up for final reference. (1947) was Bogart’s and Bacall’s next collaboration. The first third of the film is shot from the protagonist’s point of view. With the camera seeing what he sees. After the character’s plastic surgery. The rest of the movie is shot normally with Bogart as the lead character. The picture is a suspense thriller with Bogart intent on finding the real killer in a murder he was blamed for and sentenced to prison. Was directed by John Huston and. In addition to the presences of Bogart and Bacall. Robinson as Johnny Rocco. A seething older synthesis of many of his past vicious gangster roles. The cast is trapped during a spectacular hurricane in a hotel owned by Bacall’s character’s father in law. Played by Lionel Barrymore. Claire Trevor won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Rocco’s physically abused. Robinson had always had top billing over Bogart in their previous films together but Bogart’s career had finally passed Robinson’s. Robinson’s name appears to the right of Bogart’s. But placed a little higher on the posters. And also in the film’s opening credits. To indicate Robinson’s near-equal status. Robinson’s image was also markedly larger and centered on the original poster. With Bogart relegated to the background. In the film’s trailer. Bogart is repeatedly mentioned first but Robinson’s name is listed above Bogart’s in a cast list at the trailer’s very end. Robinson’s role remains similar in circumstance to Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest (1936). Bogart’s initial breakthrough which the studio had originally earmarked for Robinson. Divorce proceedings were initiated by February 1945. Bogart and Bacall then married in a small ceremony at the country home of Bogart’s close friend. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield at Malabar Farm near. 000 white brick mansion in an exclusive neighborhood in Holmby Hills. The marriage proved to be a happy one. Though there were the normal tensions due to their differences. He was a homebody and she liked nightlife. He loved the sea; it made her sick. Bacall allowed Bogart lots of weekend time on his boat as she got seasick. Bogart’s drinking sometimes inflamed tensions. Lauren Bacall gave birth to Stephen Humphrey Bogart on January 6. Stephen was named after Bogart’s character’s nickname in To Have and Have Not. Making Bogart a father at 49. Later hosting a television special about his father on Turner Classic Movies. They had their second child. Leslie Howard Bogart on August 23. A girl named after British actor Leslie Howard. The enormous success of. Redefined Bogart’s career. For the first time. Bogart could be cast successfully as a tough. As a vulnerable love interest. Despite Bogart’s elevated standing. He did not yet have a contractual right of script refusal. So when he got weak scripts. He dug in his heels. And locked horns again with the front office. As he did on the film Conflict (1945). Though he submitted to Jack Warner on that picture. He successfully turned down God is My Co-Pilot (1945). During part of 1943 and 1944. Bogart went on USO and War Bond tours accompanied by Mayo. Enduring arduous travels to. Riding high in 1947 with a new contract which provided some script refusal rights and the right to form his own separate production company. Bogart reunited with John Huston for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. A stark tale of greed involving three gold prospectors played out in the dusty back country of. Absent any love story or a happy ending. It was deemed a risky project. Bogart later said of co-star (and John Huston’s father) Walter Huston. He’s probably the only performer in. D gladly lost a scene. The film was grueling to make. And was done in summer for greater realism and atmosphere. Bogart does a wonderful job with this character. Miles ahead of the very good work he has done before? John Huston won the Academy Award for direction and screenplay and his father won Best Supporting Actor. But the film had mediocre box office results. And the public turned a cold shoulder on it. Organized a delegation to. Called the Committee for the First Amendment. Against the House Un-American Activities Committee’s harassment of. He subsequently wrote an article “I’m No Communist” in the March 1948 edition of Photoplay magazine in which he distanced himself from The Hollywood Ten in order to counter the negative publicity that resulted from his appearance. Bogart wrote: The ten men cited for contempt by the House Un-American Activities Committee were not defended by us. In addition to being offered better. In 1948 he started his own production company. Named after his private sailing yacht. (Santana was also the name of the cabin cruiser featured in the 1948 film Key Largo). Bogart’s contract gave him the right to have his own production company. But Jack Warner was reportedly furious at this. Fearing that other stars would do the same and major studios would lose their power. Were already under a lot of pressure. Not just from free-lancing actors like Bogart. But also from the eroding impact of television and from anti-trust laws which were breaking up theater chains. Bogart performed in his final films for Warners. Released early in 1950. Released early in 1951. Under Bogart’s Santana Productions. Which released through Columbia Pictures. Bogart starred in Knock on Any Door (1949). In a Lonely Place (1950). Sirocco (1951) and Beat the Devil (1954). At least two of them are still remembered today; In a Lonely Place is now recognized as a masterpiece of film noir. Bogart plays embittered writer Dixon Steele. Who has a history of violence and becomes a suspect in a murder case at the same time that he falls in love with a failed actress. Played by Gloria Grahame. Many Bogart biographers and actress/writer Louise Brooks agree that the role is the closest to Bogart’s real self and is considered among his best performances. She wrote that the film? Gave him a role that he could play with complexity. Because the film character’s pride in his art. Lack of energy stabbed with lightning strokes of violence were shared by the real Bogart? The character even mimics some of Bogart’s personal habits. Including twice ordering Bogart’s favorite meal of ham and eggs. His last film with his close friend and favorite director John Huston. Also enjoys a cult following. Co-written by Truman Capote. The movie is a parody of The Maltese Falcon. And is a tale of an amoral group of rogues chasing an unattainable treasure. In this instance uranium. Bogart starred with Katharine Hepburn in the film The African Queen in 1951. Again directed by his friend John Huston. The novel was overlooked and left undeveloped for fifteen years until producer Sam Spiegel and Huston bought the rights. Spiegel sent Katharine Hepburn the book and she suggested Bogart for the male lead. He was the only man who could have played that part? Huston’s love of adventure. A chance to work with Hepburn. And Bogart’s earlier successes with Huston convinced Bogart to leave the comfortable confines of. For a difficult shoot on location in the Belgian Congo in. Bogart was to get 30 percent of the profits and Hepburn 10 percent. Plus a relatively small salary for both. The stars met up in. And announced the happy prospect of working together. Bacall came for the duration (over four months). Leaving their young child behind. But the Bogarts started the trip with a junket through. Including a visit with Pope Pius XII. The glamor would be gone and she would make herself useful as a cook. Nurse and clothes washer. For which Bogart praised her. T know what we? D have done without her. She Luxed my undies in darkest. Just about everyone in the cast came down with dysentery except Bogart and John Huston. Who subsisted on canned food and alcohol. Bogart explained: All I ate was baked beans. Canned asparagus and Scotch whisky. Whenever a fly bit Huston or me. In and out of character. Fared worse in the difficult conditions. And at one time. Bogart resisted Huston’s insistence on using real leeches in a key scene where Bogart has to drag the boat through a shallow marsh. Until reasonable fakes were employed. The crew overcame illness. And a boat fire to complete a memorable film. Despite the discomfort of jumping from the boat into swamps. Rivers and marshes the film apparently rekindled in Bogart his early love of boats and on his return to California from the Congo he bought a classic mahogany Hacker-Craft runabout which he kept until his death. Was the first Technicolor film in which Bogart appeared. He appeared in relatively few color films during the rest of his career. Which continued for another five years.

He advised Claire Trevor. When she had been nominated for. Just say you did it all yourself and don? But when Bogart won the Academy Award. Which he truly coveted despite his well-advertised disdain for. It’s a long way from the. To the stage of this theatre. It’s nicer to be here. Thank you very much. No one does it alone. You need a good opponent or partner to bring out the best in you. Despite the thrilling win and the recognition. The way to survive an Oscar is never to try to win another one. Win it and then figure they have to top themselves. They become afraid to take chances. The result: A lot of dull performances in dull pictures? Bogart dropped his asking price to get the role of Captain Queeg in Edward Dmytryk’s The Caine Mutiny. Then griped with some of his old bitterness about it. For all his success. He was still his melancholy old self. Grumbling and feuding with the studio. While his health was beginning to deteriorate. Bogart gave a bravura performance as Captain Queeg. An unstable naval officer. In many ways an extension of the character he had played in The Maltese Falcon. Casablanca and The Big Sleep? The wary loner who trusts no one? But with none of the warmth or humor that made those characters so appealing. Like his portrayal of Fred C. Dobbs in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Bogart played a paranoid.

But Bogart got on poorly with his director and co-stars. He also complained about the script. Which was written on a last-minute. And that Wilder favored Hepburn and Holden on and off the set. The main problem was that Wilder was the opposite of his ideal director. In both style and personality. Bogart told the press that Wilder was “overbearing” and is the kind of Prussian German with a riding crop. He is the type of director I don? T like to work with. The picture is a crock of crap. I got sick and tired of who gets Sabrina. We parted as enemies but finally made up. The film was successful. The New York Times said of Bogart. He is incredibly adroit. The skill with which this old rock-ribbed actor blend the gags and such duplicities with a manly manner of melting is one of the incalculable joys of the show.
