mrb1980 A really good film biography of Humphrey Bogart would have concentrated on his difficult rise to stardom during the 1930s and early 40s. However, this pedestrian movie emphasizes his battles with Mayo Methot and his marriage to Lauren Bacall. Kevin O'Connor tries, but cannot come close to matching the real Bogart; Kathryn Harrold is much, much better as Bacall, and turns in a fine performance. Bogart's final battle with throat cancer is portrayed as a shallow soap opera, and the inconclusive ending (Bogart sailing in his boat) is particularly bad. Might be worth watching on a slow night, but don't confuse this movie with a good biographical film...it's not even close.

Drew-Barrymore-Obsessed Well I think that this wasn't the best movie I've seen in my life but it is watchable. I mean it was shallow yes but okay just to be if nothing on the face of the earth was on I guess I would watch it.I happened to think quite little of it. Yeah it pretty much wasn't all that but hey it'ws watchable. Again some of these bio's are fairly boring but people still manage to watch them. Yes so their you have it it is a pain free boring movie with guarauntee you will turn it off in twenty minutes tops. Well this is just me but I didn't like it and some of my friends didn't like it. If your a bio person you'll love it but if your not run for the hills. To me this was painful and would not watch it again.

Claudio Carvalho The life of Humphrey Bogart, mainly during his marriage with the alcoholic actress Mayo Methot and with Lauren Bacall, is presented in a shallow biography. The movie looks like a soap opera and does not show, for example, how he became a great actor, or his problems with the Joseph McCarthy communist witch-hunters. The good points are the selection of Kevin O'Connor, perfect in the role of Humphrey Bogart, having inclusive the same voice and movements, and the gorgeous and elegant Kathryn Harrold in the role of Lauren Bacall. I believe that the great Humphrey Bogart deserves a better homage than this film. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): 'O Outro Lado de Humphrey Bogart' ('The Other Side of Humphrey Bogart')

mark czuba This movie is a cheesy Melodrama biopic on the life of the Great One Humphrey Bogart. The movie lacks any real substance on Bogie's Life. The film mainly focuses on his tumultuous relationship with his alcoholic wife Mayo Methot (Played by Ann Wedgeworth who was Lana on the Three's company episodes) and the Cancer that eventually killed him. Kevin O'Conner is pretty good as Bogie, he looks, talks, and even laughs like the real Bogie. Kathryn Harrold playing Lauren Bacall is just gorgeous, and bares a striking resemblance to The real thing as well. The problem with this made for T.V. film is that is really never gives you anything, no personal relationships with stars and directors, not even some insight to how he became a star. To save money on the film we get cheap fading B/W stills staggered throughout the film (mind you not even real ones, but ones with the actor playing Bogie). The sets are minimal and repetitive, and a cheesy ending make you wonder if there is any justice out there for dead stars that are brought back to life in biopics
