Humphrey Bogart

[waingirl]

Janurary 14, 1957. Hi all, I didn't see this listed, so I thought I'd post that Humphrey Bogart died today 50 years ago. Great entertainer and still greatly missed!!:fedora:

Happy birthday Mr. Bogart!

(it's late, but who sends a passing greeting )

I just watched We're No Angels this morning. There's either something very strange going on, or maybe I just watch Bogart movies too often. Who knows? Anyway, R.I.P.

I want to kick myself

Just 20 minutes from my home is the Astor Theatre, a beautiful art deco theatre which shows heaps of great oldies on the BIG screen.

Today I noticed they had a double billing on Jan 7th - Casablanca, followed by The Maltese Falcon!!

My two most favourite movies in history


Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!




I will have to content myself with North by Northwest and Dial M for murder on 28th January

Does the name of the theatre have any relation to Mary Astor?

Not that I know of. Astor seems to be a fairly common name for theatres, particularly in UK. Besides, I think it predates her; built in the 20's I believe.

Though it is fitting she is in The Maltese Falcon which is on at the theatre

They did those two on the big screen in the park last year at spring. It was great first time I got to see them on anything besides television.

Maltese Flacon 3 disc set

I bought the 3 disc Maltese Falcon set from Amazon and it arrived this week. I popped it in the dvd player, tuned on the television, and prepared myself for disapointment. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie, but I have a widescreen, flat-panel, plasma television, and old movies do not usually play very well. Either the picture is distorted and stretched to fill the screen, or I have to alter the aspect ratio of my television leaving black space all around the picture. Not this time. This transfer was a widescreen transfer, and it was BEAUTIFUL. It may have ben a little late, but I was definitely celebrating, and I didn't even realize it was Bogart's birthday.

Out of the blue one night, a very non-retro woman declared that my mock laugh was a dead-on for Sydney Greenstreet. I was bowled over.

Yes, Bogart was one of the greatest, no doubt about it!
But for me personally he does absolutely nothing
I know what I say must be close to blasphemy, I must be the only person in the world to say such a thing. C'est la vie... [huh]

It is from the Astor family, http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780670037698,00.html I think the theater is located in their former residence but as usual I may be misremembering.
