About this movie

Hollywood legend Humphrey Bogart ("The African Queen," "Casablanca") is a Martinique charter boat skipper who gets mixed up with beautiful Lauren Bacall ("The Big Sleep," "Misery") and underground French resistance operatives during WWII. Critics raved over sultry 19 year-old Bacall's powerful screen debut. Based on a novel by the great American novelist Hemingway with a script by Pulitzer Prize-winner William Faulkner. Directed and produced by Oscar-winner Howard Hawks ("His Girl Friday," "The Big Sleep"). Co-starring Oscar-winner Walter Brennan ("How the West Was Won," "My Darling Clementine"). Recently selected by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the 400 greatest American films of all time. MPAA Rating: NOTRATED © 1944 Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

I guess at the time Bacall was known for her lines like "put your lips together an blow". I actually liked the pacing better than Casablanca but that film really took off over this film, especially with music, singer and so forth. I feel Bacall just didn't connect as Bergman did as her character in Morocco to all the characters around her. This was a prototype I suppose before Casablanca of similar situation, and it's a bit colder, while the dramatics of Casablanca really was what the audience wanted.

More than a classic - This movie is truly timeless. Watching Bogart & Bacall fall in love on camera and in real life is something that just never gets old.

Slightly simplistic story but one of the Film Noire greats - this is where Bogey and Bcall actually met and fell in love both on and off screen.
