And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Bogy and Bacall, starting with the infamous shimmy
He could really act and seemed like a genuine nice guy to know. Along with Casablanca as one of the best films of all time I must include The African Queen. Neither film would have been so great without him.
Charlie Chaplin was, IIRC, 52 when he met his wife, who was 18 at the time, again, IIRC. Her parents weren't thrilled. She gave him , what, 8 kids over the next 20 odd years? Vive la difference!
Always wondered why such a pretty gal would be attracted to a man with plain features. But the chemistry was apparent, even on their movies together.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Bacall, lovely. Bogie? Joe average from da Bronx for looks.

ReplyDeleteCapt. Queeg in The Caine Mutiny was as good an acting job as has been done before or since.
DeleteBogart had "it", a strong masculine appeal that transcended looks. Few men have to the degree he did.
ReplyDeleteBacall was 19 and Bogart 43 when they started their "relationship"
ReplyDeleteTalk about grooming!
Would you like your 19 year old daughter dating a 43 year old man?
My thoughts exactly: A dirty old man and a beautiful girl.
DeleteShe chased him first.

DeleteLittle man syndrome like DeNiro. Wore lifts in his shoes.
ReplyDeleteBogart was nothing like Crybaby Bobby.
Delete"Shimmy shimmy cocoa puffs"...when woman were sexy and alluring with class, including perfect attire.
