ROUND 2: Entertainment - The Films of Humphrey Bogart


We'll describe 10 Humphrey Bogart movies, in chronological order
(except perhaps for movies released in the same year).  In each case,
you must name the title.

 1. In this 1936 film Humphrey Bogart plays Duke Mantee, a gangster who
    takes hostage the occupants of an Arizona restaurant, one of them
    played by Leslie Howard.  They had acted the same roles on stage and
    Howard insisted that Bogie be cast in the film version.  It made him
    a star, but also led to him being typecast in a series of criminal
    roles that continued until "High Sierra" 5 years later.

	The Petrified Forest

 2. The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca would be the next two usual
    suspects, but we'll pass right over them and on to 1944, for the
    first of Bogie's five films with Lauren Bacall.  This is the one
    where she says to him, "You know how to whistle, don't you?  Just
    put your lips together and... blow."

	To Have and Have Not

 3. In this 1947 film with Lauren Bacall, the star spends the first
    half-hour with his head in bandages as he recovers from plastic
    surgery.  Only then do we see the face of Humphrey Bogart.

	Dark Passage

 4. Bogart also made five films with Edward G. Robinson.  The last of
    these is set in Florida, where the characters weather a hurricane.

	Key Largo (1948)
	(also his fifth and last film with Bacall)

 5. Walter Huston and Tim Holt join Humphrey Bogart in Mexico, where
    the lure of gold tears friendships apart.  John Huston directed.

	The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

 6. Humphrey Bogart.  Katharine Hepburn.  Enough said.

	The African Queen (1951)


 7. In this 1952 film, Bogie plays a newspaper editor who sets out to
    expose a mob leader... while his paper is in danger of bankruptcy.
    
	Deadline - U.S.A.
	(accept "Deadline")

 8. The cast of this quirky and lighthearted 1953 film includes Robert
    Morley, Peter Lorre, Jennifer Jones, and Gina Lollobrigida as well
    as Humphrey Bogart, all conniving for the rights to an African mine
    as their ship is detained for repairs at a small Italian port.

	Beat the Devil

  
 9. Bogart played one more criminal role in 1955 in this movie about
    what today we would call a "home invasion".  Fredric March plays
    the man of the house.

	The Desperate Hours

10. Bogart's last film was made in 1956.  He plays boxing writer Eddie
    Willis, who takes a job as a press agent and comes to realize that
    he really doesn't care for the boxing business.

	The Harder They Fall
