 | Big Sleep (1946) [Read More ...]

 | Murder on the Orient Express [Read More ...]

 | Appointment With Death [Read More ...]
Review: An Appointment with Death, Comparison:This is not quite as polished as Evil Under the Sun and Death on the Nile, also with Peter Ustinov. It still has the same kind of star power because Lauren Bacall and Piper Laurie are both in this. The story is also still good and I did enj... |
 | To Have and Have Not [Read More ...]
Description: Yes, it's true: you can virtually see Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall falling for each other in this Howard Hawks 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 ... |
 | Harper [Read More ...]
Description: The reason to see Harper is the kooky mid-Sixties design, the peculiar over-the-hill-gang supporting cast, and the crazy Rat Pack lingo written by famed screenwriter William Goldman. And, of course, Paul Newman fans will want to see their guy in the full flower of his anti-hero h... |
 | Written on the Wind [Read More ...]
Description: Douglas Sirk puts the opera back into soap opera in this exquisitely baroque melodrama, the epitome of Technicolor gloss. Rock Hudson (as wonderfully wooden as ever) and Lauren Bacall play stalwart examples of altruism, clean living, and good old American ambition, but Robert Sta... |

Review: Review correction:Previous review (Heytaxi 3/13/99) described different collector's series.(UA/MGM "Vintage Classics") and was submitted before Amazon's collector series film titles were listed and I assumed it was the series I owned. Apparently there are more than one Bogart 3 ... |

 | Fan (1981) [Read More ...]
Description: Lauren Bacall brings poise, dignity, and steely defiance to this entry into the 1980s slasher film genre. Her aging silver-screen and Broadway star is so stressed by her musical theater debut and jealous of her ex-husband's (James Garner) marriage to a lovely young thing that she... |
