Publisher Description
Thanks to iconic roles in films such as The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart was and is known as a “tough guy.” Yet the more complicated truth about him has, until now, remained out of focus. We have gone thundering past the intersection where personal history and screen character meet and mutually inform each other, argues legendary, award-winning film critic Richard Shickel. In this book, he lingers at that crossroads and contemplates the evidence about who and what Bogie really was.

Humphrey Bogart-A Life in Film
Richard Schickel has written a very good expose on one of the greatest film stars ever. It is very concise, informative and well written. It brings to light who Bogie really was, and why he was the way he was. Although brief, very worthwhile.
