I'm going to have to watch it all the way through sometime. I've seen bits and pieces of it over the years but every time I sit down and try and watch it when it comes on, I always get interrupted.

Also one of my favorites. In fact just sat down last night to watch the last half hour on TCM with my 9-year-old. She thought Ilsa was beautiful and that the men smoked too much.

Rumer....the young punk that Bogey insults here.....the actor had a guest appearance on the Original Star Trek series....he played Captain Kirk's lawyer in the episode "Court Martial".

Blew my mind when I saw Maltese Falcon for the first time in the early 80s.....

The above scene is fucking hysterical......

"Why do you let these cheap gunmen hang around the lobby for with their heaters bulging in their clothes?" :lmao:

And The Big Sleep is a kickass film as well! Bogie screws his way through the movie! :hee:

[Hardrock69]

What was unfortunate was that Conrad Veidt dropped dead of a heart attack while playing golf in L.A. in 1943....he only got a couple of years of superstardom.

He was a German actor who fled Germany in the late 30s...became a British citizen, and donated large percentages of his salary from every film he made to the British war effort.

I loved bogey in the African queen As well.
Another great film and showed bogey had more chops than I gave him credit for .

[Nitro Express]

Some guy made a live steam model of the o'l African Queen. Kind of cool.

[Nitro Express]

Funny. I don't remember Bogart blowing so many farts.

[ZahZoo]

Maltese Falcon is my favorite... Think I'll need to add the Blu-ray version on my Christmas list.

[Hardrock69]

Dude....thanks for posting that promo for the Black Bird......

The cast is so cool. Same fucking cast was in this, Casablanca, and other films.

From Peter Lorre wikipedia page:


Lorre made nine movies altogether with Sydney Greenstreet counting The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca, most of them variations on the latter film, including Background to Danger (1943, with George Raft); Passage to Marseille (1944, reteaming them with Casablanca stars Humphrey Bogart and Claude Rains); The Mask of Dimitrios (1944, with character actor Greenstreet receiving top billing); The Conspirators (1944, with Hedy Lamarr and Paul Henreid); Hollywood Canteen (1944); Three Strangers (1946), a suspense film about three people who are joint partners on a winning lottery ticket starring top-billed Greenstreet, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and third-billed Lorre cast against type by director Jean Negulesco as the romantic lead; and Greenstreet and Lorre's final film together, suspense thriller The Verdict (1946), director Don Siegel's first movie, with Greenstreet and Lorre finally billed first and second, respectively.

From Sydney Greenstreet's wikipedia page:


Greenstreet was partially the inspiration for the Jabba the Hutt character in Return of the Jedi




Then you have "Across The Pacific" which had Bogie, Greenstreet and Astor in it, directed by John Huston (until he was drafted). And of course Huston directed Maltese Falcon.

Casablanca piano goes on sale Listen

A piano that features in the classic 1940s film Casablanca has been sold for more than $600,000 (£370,000) at an auction in New York.

The upright piano appears in one of the film's most iconic scenes, in which Humphrey Bogart's character Rick utters the line: "Here's looking at you, kid."

It was sold to an unknown buyer at Sotheby's in New York.

The piano had been offered for sale by its Japanese collector owner to mark the film's 70th anniversary.

It was expected to sell for as much as $1.2m, The owner originally paid about $154,000 for the piano at auction in the late 1980s.

It is used in the film by pianist Sam, played by Dooley Wilson, to play the song As Time Goes By during a key flashback scene set in a Paris bar.

Rick Blaine, played by Humphrey Bogart, delivers the famous line as he and Ingrid Bergman's character Ilsa Lund lean on the piano, toasting with glasses of champagne.

The piano's sale marks the 70th anniversary of the Oscar-winning World War II classic, which is largely set in the Moroccan port city of Casablanca, then part of unoccupied French North Africa.

Check out The Treasure of the Sierra Madre & The Caine Mutiny

Saw The Caine Mutiny a long time ago in the 80's or early 90's when it was on HBO. Great film. Bogart was great, but the Navy prosecutor getting drunk and telling everyone what he really thinks is a show-stealer...

Gotta see Sierra Madre and Casablanca. I think Casablanca is in AMC's or TCM's rotation right now...

[Hardrock69]

I saw Sierra Madre for the first time on late night cable in the early 80s.....I and 3 friends were trying to play cards while tripping on blotter acid and had the film on for "background entertainment".

The end of the film blew my mind.

"WHAT THE FAK? THEY WENT THROUGH ALL THAT! LYING, CHEATING, STABBING EACH OTHER IN THE BACK, MURDER, ALMOST DYING OF THIRST IN THE DESERT, THEN GOING THROUGH THE SANDSTORM.....AND FOR WHAT?

ALL FOR NOTHING! THEY WENT THROUGH ALL THAT FOR NOTHING!!!"

My friends who were all tripping began to say stuff like "Hey now, just calm down...it's only a movie"......

I told them I knew it was "just a movie", but even so......

Seeing a film like that, directed by John Huston, no less, while tripping on acid, made a very good, very intense film even MORE of an intense experience. :hee:
