FAKE: When we see the daily article against all side Vanmeer's elimination, impetuous inwardly the display, singular the earliest paragraph belong to the anecdote; what we can see of the second and third paragraph be about a involve in sustain of hot conservatory building., CONT: Inside the car, Billy has a long lit cigarette in his right hand, but soon after, when he steps down, the cigarette has disappeared., CONT: When Billy, Peterson and the driver push the car for the first time, there are four suitcases tied on its rear. When they do it for the second time, there are only three higher suitcases. And when the car falls in the cliff, the four suitcases from the beginning reappear., CONT: When the boat arrives at shore and the group come out of the sea, Billy walks after Peterson and stops just behind him. In the next shot, shown from the front, Billy appears on the left side of Peterson., BOOM: In Harry and Gwendolyn's first dialog scene on the street, the shadow of a boom microphone can be seen on the wall behind them.
Billy Dannreuther: The only thing standing between you and a watery grave is your wits, and that's not my idea of adequate protection., O'Hara: Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it. French hoard it. Italians squander it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook., Ahmed: Your demands are very great, under the circumstances.::Billy Dannreuther: Why shouldn't they be? Fat Gut's my best friend, and I will not betray him cheaply., Purser: Do you know that your associates are all in hoosegow? Oh, not that I'm a bit surprised. I put them down as thoroughly bad characters, right off the bat. But then there are so many bad characters nowadays. Take mine, for instance., Petersen: You mean Mrs. Chelm is an unqualified liar?::Billy Dannreuther: Well, let's say she uses her imagination rather than her memory., Gwendolyn Chelm: Harry, we must beware of these men. They are desperate characters.::Harry Chelm: What makes you say that ?::Gwendolyn Chelm: Not one of them looked at my legs!, Billy Dannreuther: Trouble with England, it's all pomp and no circumstance. You're very wise to get out of it, escape, while you can., O'Hara: I give you my word, I feel to you like an older brother. Oh, it's not so much a difference of age. It's probably, yes, the reason is, because I come from a culture which is so much older than yours. In my country, a child of 6 years old is older in his heart than you'll be at, at 60.::Billy Dannreuther: It smokes, it drinks, it philosophizes... at this rate I'll be 60 before you get to the point., Billy Dannreuther: I've got to have money. Doctor's orders are that I must have a lot of money, otherwise I become dull, listless and have trouble with my complexion.::Gwendolyn Chelm: But you're not like that now, and you haven't any money.::Billy Dannreuther: It's my expectations that hold me together., Ahmed: [to Dannreuther] I believe you must have Arab blood. Westerners are not usually so subtle., Ahmed: Our country is in a state of unrest.::Petersen: Oh, I am sorry!
Jack Clayton, the Scotland Yard inspector played by 'Bernard Lee (I)' (qv), is named after the film's cameraman, 'Jack Clayton (I)' (qv), who later became a well-known director., Claud Cockburn (aka 'James Helvick' (qv)) wrote the screenplay based on his novel. 'Truman Capote' (qv) was purportedly brought to complete the script late in the piece when Cockburn left or was fired., 'Humphrey Bogart' (qv) was involved in a serious automobile accident during production of this film, which knocked out several of his teeth and hindered his ability to speak. 'John Huston (I)' (qv) hired a young British actor noted for his mimicry skills to rerecord some of Bogart's spoken lines during post-production looping. Although it is undetectable when viewing the film today, it is 'Peter Sellers' (qv) who provides Bogart's voice during some of the scenes in this movie., 'William Styron' (qv)'s second novel, "Set This House on Fire", describes a film crew on location--obviously based on director 'John Huston (I)' (qv) and gang during the shooting of this film. The town in the novel is Ravello on Italy's Amalfi Drive, where most of the film was shot., 'John Huston (I)' (qv) was star/producer 'Humphrey Bogart' (qv)'s first choice to direct. However, Huston had some scheduling conflicts -- he was due to make a movie with 'Katharine Hepburn' (qv) (which was never made, as Hepburn graciously stepped aside to help out Huston), not to mention that he had to finish his then-current project _Moulin Rouge (1952)_ (qv). 'Nicholas Ray' (qv), who Bogart had worked with twice before, was considered to direct in case Huston could not finish in time., At one point in the film, 'Ivor Barnard' (qv)'s character is referred as the "galloping major". This is the title of a film from 1951, also made by Romulus Productions, and starring 'Basil Radford' (qv). _The Galloping Major (1951)_ (qv) in this other film is a racehorse., This was the third and last movie that 'Humphrey Bogart' (qv) would make with 'Peter Lorre (I)' (qv). The other two were the classics _Casablanca (1942)_ (qv) and _The Maltese Falcon (1941)_ (qv).

Articles:"The Los Angeles Times" (USA), 14 January 2007, by: Richard Schickel, "How Humphrey Got To Be Bogie", "Vimalife" (Greece), 21 May 2005, Iss. 54, pg. 55-59, by: Ero Pogoi, "Replay it again, Sam", "Dirio de Notcias" (Portugal), 23 January 1999, pg. 42, by: Eurico de Barros, "Bogart: as datas para um centenrio", "Expresso, Antena" (Portugal), 16 January 1999, pg. 8, by: Manuel Cintra Ferreira, "O ano Bogart", "Empire" (UK), October 1997, Iss. 100, pg. 188, by: Ian Freer and Jake Hamilton, "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time", "TV Filmes" (Portugal), 1997, Iss. 13, pg. 37, by: Manuel Pereira, "TV Guia" (Portugal), 1996, Iss. 925, pg. 106-107, "TV Filmes" (Portugal), 1996, Iss. 3, pg. 68, "Dagens Nyheter" (Sweden), 6 February 1944, by: Anonymous, "Humphrey Bogart f.d. gangster"
The older of two children with 'Lauren Bacall' (qv), 'Stephen H. Bogart' (qv), discussed his relationship with Bogie in 1996 book, "Bogart: In Search of My Father"., New York Times reported on 12/25/2000 that "Humphrey Bogart was born on 23 January 1899, but Warner Brothers publicity decided that a Christmas birthday would be far more advantageous because 'a guy born on Christmas can't be all bad.'" However, copies of two 1900 census forms prove this to be incorrect., (October 1997) Ranked #9 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list., Bogart's speech defect (lisping) does not appear in the German dubbings of his voice, which is also lower., There is some dispute as to how Bogey's lip injury occurred. One story is that when Bogart was in the Navy, a prisoner he was escorting attempted to escape and hit Bogart in the face with his shackles. Bogart, fearing that he would lose his position and be severely punished for letting a prisoner escape, chased down the man and brought him successfully to the Portsmouth Naval Prison. However, because the surgeon who stitched up his face did not do a very good job, Bogart was left with his trademark lisp. Another version has it that he caught a large wood splinter in his lip at the age of 12, but the combat story is more exciting - a legend, indeed., Named his daughter Leslie to show his gratitude to 'Leslie Howard (I)' (qv), who got him his big break in _The Petrified Forest (1936)_ (qv)., Interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, CA, in the Garden of Memory, Columbarium of Eternal Light (not accessable to the general public)., Played chess by mail with GIs during WWII., In _Key Largo (1948)_ (qv), Bogie takes the helm of a boat called the Santana. In real life, Santana was the name of Bogie's yacht, which he purchased from 'June Allyson' (qv) and 'Dick Powell (I)' (qv)., His coffin contains a small, gold whistle, put there by his wife, 'Lauren Bacall' (qv)., Was nicknamed "The Last Century Man" because he was born on Christmas Day 1899 (based on the popular belief that the 19th Century ended in 1899, not 1900 as it really was)., Decades after his death, Bogie made a guest appearance on the TV horror series _"Tales from the Crypt" (1989)_ (qv). Footage from several movies was computer enhanced and combined with a voice and body double to allow Bogart to receive top billing for the episode "You, Murderer." Guest starring with "Bogie" were 'John Lithgow (I)' (qv) and 'Isabella Rossellini' (qv), performing an eerie (and hilarious) parody of her mother, 'Ingrid Bergman (I)' (qv)., Related to screenwriter 'Adela Rogers St. Johns' (qv); his grandfather and her grandmother were brother and sister., Distantly related to the late 'Princess Diana' (qv), Princess of Wales, through her American relations., Ranked #1 on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest screen actors., Maud Bogart's drawing of her baby Humphrey appeared in a national advertising campaign for Mellin's Baby Food, not as often erroneously reported, for Gerber., Pictured on a 32 US commemorative postage stamp in the Legends of Hollywood series, issued 31 July 1997., Co-starred not only in _Casablanca (1942)_ (qv), the film rated No. 1 on American Film Institute's list of Top 100 U.S. love stories (2002), but in four other films on AFI romance list: _The African Queen (1951)_ (qv), ranked at #xx; _Dark Victory (1939)_ (qv), ranked at #32; _Sabrina (1954)_ (qv),ranked at #54; and _To Have and Have Not (1944)_ (qv), ranked at #60., Starred with his wife 'Lauren Bacall' (qv) in the syndicated radio program "Bold Venture" (1951-1952). His character's name was Slate Shannon., Was of English, Dutch, Spanish and Welsh heritage., His preferred brand of cigarettes was Chesterfield., Although usually considered a quiet and accommodating actor by most of his collaborators, he became disliked by 'William Holden (I)' (qv) and 'Billy Wilder' (qv) during the filming of _Sabrina (1954)_ (qv). A good friend before they made the film, Wilder later said that Bogart, near the end of his life, apologized for his behavior on the set and said it was due to his personal problems. Even so, 'Audrey Hepburn' (qv) got along with him despite his criticism of her., At 5'8", he was almost exactly the same height as his beloved wife 'Lauren Bacall' (qv)., He had just turned 57 and weighed only 80 pounds when he died on January 14, 1957., Off the set, he and 'Ingrid Bergman (I)' (qv) hardly spoke during the filming of _Casablanca (1942)_ (qv). She said later, "I kissed him, but I never knew him." Years later, after 'Ingrid Bergman (I)' (qv) had become involved with Italian director 'Roberto Rossellini (I)' (qv), and borne him a child, he bawled her out for it. "You used to be a great star," he said. "What are you now?" "A happy woman," she replied. Bogart's coolness towards Bergman was later revealed to have been caused by the violent jealousy of his wife at the time, Mayo Methot, whose fears were realized when Bogart entered an affair with future wife 'Lauren Bacall' (qv)., Though a poor student, he was a lifelong reader. He could quote 'Plato' (qv), Pope, 'Ralph Waldo Emerson' (qv) and over a thousand lines of Shakespeare. He admired writers, and some of his best friends were screenwriters., He was voted the Greatest Movie Star of all time by Entertainment Weekly., Almost all of the roles that made him a star (after a decade of toiling in minor films) were roles he got because 'George Raft' (qv) had turned them down, from _High Sierra (1941)_ (qv), in which Bogie was first noticed as a viable box office draw, to _Casablanca (1942)_ (qv), which made him a true international star. Ironically, after having been overshadowed by Raft the whole first half of his career, Bogart is today by far the better-known star and is considered the superior actor of the two.
