This
listing is for the BOGIE & BACALL SIGNATURE COLLECTION BOX DVD SET that was
released in 2006.
TO
HAVE AND HAVE NOT (1944) - World-weary Harry Morgan (Humphrey
Bogart) changes his mind about helping the Free French when a sultry siren
(19-year-old Lauren Bacall in her screen debut) comes along. Full of intrigue
and racy banter, this is the thriller that brought Bogart and Bacall together.
THE
BIG SLEEP (1946) - L.A. private eye Philip Marlowe (Bogart) takes on a blackmail
case and trails murderers, rogues, the spoiled rich and more. Bacall costars
under Howard Hawks’ brisk direction of William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett and
Jules Furthman’s ace adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s novel.
DARK
PASSAGE (1947) - Bogart is a prison escapee framed for murder who emerges from
plastic surgery with a new face. Bacall is his lone ally, and the chemistry
between the leads is undeniable. Agnes Moorehead plays a supporting role as a
venomous harpy in Delmer Daves’ stylish film-noir thriller.
KEY
LARGO (1948) - Outside, a hurricane swells. Inside, a sadistic mobster (Edward
G. Robinson) holds a hotel owner (Bacall), her invalid father-in-law (Lionel
Barrymore) and an ex-GI (Bogart) at gunpoint in this classic from director John
Huston (who cowrote the screenplay with Richard Brooks).
