More about the book
'Look, I�m hardly pretty, he seems to say. I sound like gravel; I look rough and tough; and, honest, I don�t give you the soft, foolish answers the pretty boys will give you. You may not like what I say, but you better believe it.� He became a legend as �Bogie�, the world-weary, wise-cracking outsider, but in reality Humphrey Bogart was plagued by doubts and demons. He was born upper-class yet made his name playing mavericks, drank with the rat pack and met four wives on set � including his great love, Lauren Bacall � yet always mistrusted stardom. Here David Thomson, one of film�s most provocative writers, reveals the man behind cinema�s greatest icon.
