I saw this show when I was no more than 10 years old back in the 60's. It was my introduction to Humphrey Bogart. He has since become one of my favorite actors.
Humphrey Bogart one of the great star on the silver screen was very talented but he was also very charismatic. He got an Oscar for "The African Queen." Lauren Bacall and Bogart were a fabulous couple. He left behind him that classification of a Broadway juvenile, he made his performances count over the years. "Take me for what I am or not at all"
Film's all-time champion in screen presence. He was only remotely rivaled by Garbo & Brando as a film lead. In "The Maltese Falcon" he appeared in all but one scene and dared the viewer to take their eyes of him. Still to this day, he created more singularly memorable fictional characters (Duke Mantee, Sam Spade, Rick Blaine, Fred C. Dobbs, Capt.Queeg, Charlie Allnut) than any other film actor. It's also, hard to think of any other actor making as many good to great films as he did. I still think "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is the greatest American film of all-time.
Bogart was one of the great actors of an era--a very great talent. The memoirs of Lauren Becall, David Niven and Alistair Cooke are good sources of information about a great man whom they all admired.
No wonder they got along well. Two native New Yorkers, they were married and the chemistry, the glamour, the sex appeal set them apart from others actors. May Bacall and Bogart RIP.
Hi Rod, I love your postings. You are the best with Warner Bros films. THANK YOU. Question, Do you have ''the angry screen'' I thought you did. I see someone else has it and messed with it terribly. I hope you have it. Thanks
Yeah, me either. Not that he's bad, but not special. But there have always been stars who weren't anything to write home about, we have them now too, nothing weird about it I guess.
We were ONLY born to fall in LOVE with JESUS, then go Home to live with HIM FOREVER. NO OTHER REASON! JESUS is RETURNING SOON! ALLELUIA! 🙏🙌💞 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15! REPENT and RECEIVE JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOUR to have your name secured in His Book of Life! TIME IS WINDING UP.
This was the first thing I saw of Bogart when I was 10 years old besides a couple of Warner Brothers cartoons, back in 1963!
One of the greatest episodes of this great series. I can’t help but weep over the nostalgia.

A million thanks. I love this series. It taught me to love classic films at an early age. i am so grateful.
Thank you for your lovely comment. I have one or two more to post in due course.
Thankyou for sharing this show with a great star Joseph Cotton about a great star Humphrey Bogart
Joseph Cotten with his wonderful voice.
That theme song has been playing in the back of my brain somewhere for the past 50 years or so.
U CREEP
Martin Short uses it when he's introduced.

"We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall"
I had no idea Bogey was a child model, that's cool to know. Thanks for sharing these! 😁
But he was NOT the Gerber baby...
The first of the series, originally telecast on September 30, 1963.
September 16th...
"The only reason for making money is so you can tell some big shot to go to hell" or " Do you want me to count up to three like they do in the movies"
4:55 The narrator (Joseph Cotten) pronounces "short-lived" as "short-LEI-v'd."
Looking for the unsinkable Bette Davis. If you have it. Thanks again.
Sorry, but that's not one that I have.
I was too young when they showed this years ago

Hi Kevin, Thank you for your kind comments. I'm sorry, but I don't have a copy of the episode you mention.
The only movie he made I liked was Casablanca. I heard he didn't like Ingrid Bergman. He was short and she was tall?
LOL, ok Thanks again Rod!
i never grasped the deal with this guy.. not that i dont enjoy some of his films, but i still dont think hes anything so special.
Yeah, me either. Not that he's bad, but not special. But there have always been stars who weren't anything to write home about, we have them now too, nothing weird about it I guess.
