One of my Bogie favorites, in
The Maltese Falcon, when Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) gets slapped by Miss O'Shaungnessy (Mary Astor) and starts to hit back, Sam Spade (Bogie) grabs him, throttles him, and says,
"When you get slapped, you'll take it and like it." But for me, his greatest role was as Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny. He really showed his acting chops in that one.

“The American Film Institute voted him the greatest male star of all time and his influence as cultural icon and representative of a certain distinctively American masculinity and noir cool is greater now than ever, half a century after his death.”
Nope - Steve McQueen fits the bill. Hollywood is so liberal and full of s**t - so who cares anyway.

Compairing Bogart with the so called “stars” of today are a joke. Let’s see, who is out there that can come close?
DiCaprio?
Cruise?
Depp?
None of these metrosexuals could carry Bogarts jock.

I’ll have to get one of those biographies. I don’t think I ever saw him in an unwatchable movie.

He was 46 and she was 21 when he married her. Too bad she’s a super-lib.

McQueeen was great, too. I especially love McQueen because toward the end of his life, he became a professing Christian; I shouldn't have been surprised, because having rewatched his "Wanted: Dead or Alive" series as an adult, I see that the shows
consistently espouse deeply Christian values and morality.
It's been said that McQueen refused scripts that had gratuituous violence and profanity. He also followed the biblical calling to do your alms in secret -- it wasn't until after his death, I think, that it was discovered that many of the strange demands he made as part of the deal for him to take scripts (like requiring 50 pairs of jeans, etc.) which at the time were interpreted as the whimsical desires of a prima donna, were actually items he donated to his favorite charity, Boys Republic, which helped boys headed toward juvenile delinquency to find a straight and moral path. He was himself an alum of Boys Republic.
I am a BIG Steve McQueen fan! One of my brothers knew him, and has some great stories. McQueen could be a rude ass and a hard case with his fans, but was known to be contrite about it later, according to my bro.

“Key Largo - It is still riveting to watch.”
Especially the part where Ricco explains how Chicago style election are operated.
And “Deadline U.S.A.” is a marvelous expose of the American news media.

Well Leo DiCaprio and Marty Scrosese nailed Hepburn as the liberal commie WASP and adulteress s*** that she was in the Howard Hughes movie.
Teh old timers here who loved the golden age of liberal WHoreliwood may disagree.
