DVD Reviews of Bogie and Bacall - The Signature Collection (The Big Sleep / Dark Passage / Key Largo / To Have and Have Not)
DVD Review: 5-stars for 4 films with Bogie and Bacall
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, some of the reviews are long-winded, huh? Humphrey Bogart has been called the greatest screen actor in history and this collection won't dull that image. With stories from Chandler and Hemingway, a screenplay from William Faulkner, direction from John Huston and Howard Hawks and great portrayals from Bogart and Lauren Bacall, you get some of the best films of the 40's. You just can't go wrong and buying the box set saves time and money that you might have spent finding these gems as single releases.

DVD Review: Look Further for Big Sleep
Summary: 3 Stars
Three of the four movies in this collection are among my very favorite movies with "The Big Sleep" being the front runner. I was so disappointed at the poor quality of that particular DVD's burn! In many key scenes the right side is so pale that it is distracting. Come on Bogie lovers, let's get Criterion on this one. We deserve better! (So does "The Big Sleep"). That being said, it's great to have the Bogart/Bacall collection offered together. DVD Review: Bogie & Bacall Collection

This transaction was A+! Quick shipping and excellent product-I will definitely shop with you again!DVD Review: Boggie and Bacall Signiture Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
5 STARS Sit back with your wife; dim the lights and enjoy the show. You can actually feel the chemistry between the very lovely Lauren Bacall and handsome Humphrey Bogart. These two fine actors allow you to escape reality and forget all your troubles. The transfer to video is very good as is the sound. I highly recommend the Signature Series .Extras include very funny WB Bugs Bunny cartoons ! DVD Review: Bogart movie collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this last-minute as a Christmas present, but with the faster shipping rate, it got here just in time. The movies were safe and present for Christmas presents, and that's all that matters. So, good job.
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
