by Stefan Kanfer [Biography Bogart]
A detailed study of Humphrey Bogart. Told chronologically, the biography really picks up when "Casablanca" enters the storyline. The author discusses and evaluates Bogart's films, the other actors, interesting stories of everyone involved. Last couple chapters discuss Bogart's influence on Hollywood and society, and why there will never be another Humphrey Bogart. Not for the first-timer seeking initial info on Bogie. Best read by those already familiar with his filmography and life to really enjoy the depth of discussion. -- recommended by Charlotte K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
