206 HUMPHREY BOGART Text by Claudio Alvargonzález Tera Illustration by Emma E. K. Jones THE KING OF F I L M N O I R
207 If you think of classic Film Noir, one of the first images that comes to mind is a black and white picture of a gangster, a private detective or a drunk journalist with a hat, a raincoat, a cigarette and a glass of bourbon. If you try to put a face on that image I bet that it belongs to Humphrey Bogart. If you are born on Christmas Day, I guess you are destined to do something special with your life. Humphrey DeForest Bogart was born in New York City on that special day in 1899. His father was a wealthy Manhattan surgeon and his mother was a famed magazine illustrator and photographer. Bogart’s parents wanted him to be a doctor, probably dreaming about studying at Yale University like the rest of posh kids from New York City. However destiny had prepared something completely different for him. Since the beginning, his marks at Trinity School and Phillips Academy were pretty low and he was eventually kicked out. Yale University was out of the picture, and his parents’ dream was broken. Bogie, like many young guys in those days, joined the United States Navy during the spring of 1918. Those were the times of First World War and the young Bogart was sent to service during the conflict. That was the time he got injured by the impact of shrapnel leaving him with that famous scar on his lip. After leaving the navy he found a job at the World Film Corporation and some time later he finally got a role in a theatre play called Drifting (1922). It was his first role. Soon he became quite popular on Broadway, working in one play after another until 1929, when he decided to move to Hollywood. The truth is he wasn’t too lucky at the start. Broadway is one thing, but Hollywood is a much bigger playing field. The year 1935 came along and he finally got a role in The Petrified Forest with two bigger stars, Leslie Howard and Bette Davis. The film was a success and Bogie signed a contract with Warner Brothers, but it wasn’t until 1941 when he met his friend John Huston (probably the most influential man in his life) during the shooting of their first film together The Maltese Falcon. The film became an instant Film Noir classic (you can find a small review of the film in our TOP 5) and Bogart simply jumped into a higher Hollywood status. They made seven films together, including The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Key Largo (with his last wife Lauren Bacall) and The African Queen with Katherine Hepburn. This last role of a gin-swilling riverboat captain finally gave him the Oscar he was waiting for in 1952. He defeated Marlon Brando and his amazing role in A Streetcar Named Desire, and then came Casablanca. Of course, I won’t forget the film which is ranked as the best one ever made in cinema history (according to audiences). I would’t say that much. I just think it’s simply impossible to choose just one but I agree the film is indeed at least one of the Top 10 in history. Anyway, Casablanca is a masterpiece and Bogie became a worldwide star with his Rick Blane (an American expatriate during World War II). There is not too much to say about Casablanca as you already know the story. The script is one of the best ever written, Ingrid Bergman never looked better and the director Michael Curtiz gave us some of the most memorable images in cinema history. For example, we all know the melody of “As Time Goes By” and think about how many times you have used the quote: “We’ll always have Paris”. See?? That is what makes cinema and this film eternal: the collective imaginary. The film only won three Oscars (including ‘Best Film’) but it deserved many more. Bogart’s love life was as difficult as it was depicted in many of the roles he played. He got married four times. He became a drunk, probably because his third wife (actress Mayo Methot) was a compulsive one, and like some of the gangsters or private detectives he played, he was looking for some kind of redemption. It came in 1944 while shooting To Have and Have Not when he met a young model called Lauren Bacall (Dame Lauren Bacall in my opinion). They got married a year later and had two children. Their love story continued until Bogie, too ill with cancer, died in January 1957. The Harder They Fall (1956) was his last movie. His face was not the same due to his long fight against this illness. His fight was very hard, the same way he and his characters did on screen but this time he was defeated. At his funeral, his friend John Huston said: “He is an irreplaceable man. There will never be someone else like him…” Although I agree, I still prefer what Lauren Bacall said to Lars von Trier after a fight during the filming of Dogville: “Listen stupid, you weren’t even born and were already sleeping with Humphrey Bogart”. Bogart had the perfect face for Noire, a face filled with character. Our signature image of him is seated at a table, the inevitable drink nearby, cigarette in hand, as he stares out at the world without passion but understanding of its full meaning. It is said Bogart’s means of expression were limited, but his eyes radiated complexity. He played men of principle, men with their own code of honour. Men with a cynical mask hiding integrity. Bogart was the king of Film Noir but above all, Humphrey Bogart is in two words: classic cinema. A myth. Perhaps in the same way there was just one Marilyn, one Katherine, one Bette or one Ava, there was just one Bogie, and his last name was Bogart.
