Summary: 5 Stars
Great service. Product was exactly as described. Speedy shipping. Would order from here again!Movie Review: Bogart + Bacall
Summary: 4 Stars
Bogart and Bacall made four films together, three of which are usually dubbed classics. From best to worst, they are:
The Big Sleep
Key Largo
To Have and Have Not
"The Big Sleep" is probably the best of the three. The plot is confusing, but there's obvious chemistry between the stars and you tend to forget about the story. "To Have and Have Not" is also known mostly for the chemistry between the two stars and the quotable lines from Bacall.
"Key Largo" doesn't contain a lot of snappy dialog and the scenes between Bacall and Bogart aren't even essential to the plot, but that doesn't stop it from being a good film, perhaps because it has the strongest story of the bunch. In this movie, Bogart is a war hero who pays a visit to Bacall and her father-in-law because he served with her husband, who died in action. Shortly after he arrives, they learn that the only other guest at the hotel is a notorious, exiled gangster (Edward G. Robinson) who's trying to get back into the business. Robinson and his cronies take everyone hostage just as a hurricane arrives and prevents them from escaping.
There's a little bit of action in this movie, but it's more or less a psychological drama, similar to other John Huston directed films like "Night of the Iguana." Bogart's natural instinct is to be a hero, but he's become convinced that the world is a bad place that can't be saved and the actions of one man don't matter. The film gradually builds up tension through the storm and the ensuing events as you wait for Bogart to decide if he still has it in him to play the hero.
Movie Review: Great cast
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not a Bogie fan but this one is pretty good. Interesting story with a few twists and a lot of great 40s stars doing good work. I think this film is worth the price just to see Claire Trevor as the alcoholic girlfriend of the bad guy, played to the hilt by Eddie G Robinson, Trevor is fantastic and sad and pathetic and heroic. She won an Oscar for this role and it was deserved.Movie Review: As I Remembered . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered the movie key Largo w/ Humphry Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Edward G. Robinson. The DVD came fairly quickly and
looked good when it got here in it's packaging. The DVD has a couple of extra features which is nice, but most importantly
the movie looks good all the way through and I am happy.
