DVD Reviews of Bogie and Bacall - The Signature Collection (The Big Sleep / Dark Passage / Key Largo / To Have and Have Not)
DVD Review: Do not see this movie!!
Summary: 1 Stars
If you liked the Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep then don't see this movie. The direction and writing are terrible. The first 15 minutes of the movie is done as first person with only Bogarts voice - which is extremely distracting. Once you actually see Bogey it doesn't really matter. You aren't invested in the characters and there is no plot. The story goes on for almost 3/4 of the movie before anything worth while caring about happens and when it does it is so poorly written you are more relieved than satisfied because you know that soon the movie will be over. There only a few actual tense moments in the movie, the last 20 minutes, and the final one is so stupid as to be laughable. I felt like I was watching a first year film student film. You know the kind - the director does such obvious camera and plot work that it IS obvious the message they are trying to send and as such you feel dumber for having watched it.DVD Review: The Humphrey Bogart Collection Review
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are going to buy a collection of some of the best Bogie movies than I strongly recommend this one! The real bonus is you have some great actors and actress in some of the roles! Then of course you will see Bacall playing opposite of Bogie and they sure light up the silver screen. Key Largo has always been a favorite of mine and it is included in this Signature Collection. It will be a great addition to any home movie collection.DVD Review: Bogie & Bacall box set
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't go wrong with any of these four titles. All the better that they're boxed together. All four are quite good but very different from each other. I think fans of these two film stars will give a variety of opinions as to which of the four is the best among them, which is to be expected with such great success, and with such a variety of different storylines and approaches by the directors & actors alike. It's a very nice collection of four truly entertaining films. DVD Review: Bogart and Bacall-The Signature Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE Bogart and to see him act with the love of his life was a real treat. Two of these films-To Have and Have Not and Key Largo-should be in every Bogart fans' DVD collection. Unfortunately, The Big Sleep and Dark Passage do not measure up to the first two I mentioned, but are still interesting enough to take a look at.DVD Review: A Five Plus!
Summary: 5 Stars
A must have for any Bogie and Bacall fan! It has amazing picture quality on our fifty inch screen.............Like seeing it for the first time in a classic old movie house!
Description of Bogie and Bacall - The Signature Collection (The Big Sleep / Dark Passage / Key Largo / To Have and Have Not)
They met on the WB lot. The year was 1944. "I just saw your screen test," Bogart said to Bacall. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun together." And so it began... Listed as the Greatest Male Star of All Time and one the Greatest Female Legends by the American Film Institute, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall star in the all new Bogie & Bacall: The Signature Collection. This giftset includes all four films that starred one of classic Hollywood's noted couples.Yes, it's true: you can virtually see Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall falling for each other in To Have and Have Not (1945), Howard Hawks's variation on Casablanca but adapted from--as legend has it--Ernest Hemingway's self-declared "worst novel." (The story goes that Hawks told Hemingway he could make a movie of the author's least work, and Hemingway gave him the rights to this story.) The script by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman actually makes this one of Hawks's and Bogart's most interesting and often exciting films. Bogart plays a boat captain who reluctantly agrees to help the French Resistance while wooing chanteuse Bacall. Hoagy Carmichael, wry at the piano, adds a delicious accent to an already wonderful mood.
Bogart and Bacall were never more popular than in The Big Sleep, the 1946 adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel, directed by Howard Hawks. Bogart plays private eye Philip Marlowe, who is hired by a wealthy socialite (Bacall) to look into troubles stirred up by her wild, young sister (Martha Vickers). Legendarily complicated (so much so that even Chandler had trouble following the plot), the film is nonetheless hugely entertaining and atmospheric, an electrifying plunge into the exotica of detective fiction. William Faulkner wrote the screenplay.
Dark Passage (1947) is a gimmicky film noir starring Bogart as an escaped criminal who undergoes plastic surgery and holes up at the home of Bacall's character while healing and preparing to prove his innocence. If you can last through the first half-hour of this thing--which is shot entirely from the subjective view of Bogart's bandaged face, which we don't see until later--you might find ample reason in the stars' performances to stick around for the conclusion. But director Delmer Daves (A Summer Place) tests a viewer's endurance with such an obvious, attention-getting ploy.
John Huston (The Maltese Falcon) directed Key Largo (1948), a smart thriller about a gangster (Edward G. Robinson) who holds a number of people hostage in a hotel in the Florida Keys during a tropical storm. Bogart is the returning war veteran who takes on the villains, and Bacall is on hand as one of the people on the wrong end of Robinson's gun. Somewhat similar in tone to To Have and Have Not this moody movie captures a certain despair offset by the bond between individuals united by common purpose. Claire Trevor won an Academy Award for her part as Robinson's alcoholic girlfriend. --Tom Keogh
