How many Humphrey Bogart Bluray's do you own (1 Viewer)

[Thomas T]

If it wasn't for June Allyson I would like it more.

Marjorie Main or Hope Emerson perhaps?

Hope would've been fun.

 

[RICK BOND]

I wish WBArchive would start releasing more Bogart ! Every month I hope, but Nothing. ?? Why ? Are they tired of him ? We Want More Bogart !

 

[Thomas T]

Hope would've been fun.

Seriously though, Allyson was a last minute replacement for Shelley Winters whose pregnancy forced her to drop out. Two years earlier, Allyson was forced to drop out from Royal Wedding because she was pregnant and replaced by Jane Powell. And of course, every film buff knows that Vera Miles' pregnancy caused her to drop out of Vertigo! Oh, how many times pregnancy changed the course of cinema!

Marked Woman: Bogart's role is minimal but Bette Davis is sensational.
High Sierra: The Bogart movie where Bogart became Bogart and the rest as they say is history.
Battle Circus: Bogart and June Allyson. Who could ask for anything more?
We're No Angels: If I could choose just one Bogart movie to make it to blu ray, this is the one!

You know which one I'd delete from the list.

Even though Powell may not be my favorite soprano, at least she doesn't have a frog in her throat, and she dances better than the other blonde. She's even better looking!
Can you imagine Too Late Now, written for Garland, sung by Allyson? Sacrilege, sir!

That's a million dollar froggy voice! MGM wanted Allyson to take voice lessons to make her husky voice more "normal". Van Johnson said, "You're nuts! That's a million dollar voice!" MGM let her keep her voice and sure enough, Allyson brought in millions for the studio! Can you imagine Kathleen Turner, Patricia Neal or Tallulah Bankhead robbed of their froggy voices? Now that's sacrilege! Sorry but Powell is not a better dancer than Junebug. Powell is and always was a singer. Allyson started out on Broadway as a dancer in Cole Porter's Panama Hattie with Ethel Merman. As she proved in Good News, Words And Music and Till The Clouds Roll By, the girl is a dancer!

True, she started as a B'way hoofer but she didn't dance with Astaire. And the husky voices that you quote, and that I adore, did not ever attempt to sing.
But we digress, since this is a thread dedicated to Bogart!

Before we go totally off-topic let’s get back to discussing Bogart movies.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Battle Circus: Bogart and June Allyson. Who could ask for anything more?

All kidding aside, I do like "Battle Circus" otherwise, I wouldn't buy it on DVD and then purchased the HD digital on iTunes.

 

[Traveling Matt]

So apparently more Bogart is available on Blu-ray that I didn't know about, but in Region 2. There's Sahara, which might be OOP (but is available on eBay).

See on Amazon


And there's this box set which came out last October (Dead Reckoning/Knock on Any Door/Tokyo Joe/In a Lonely Place/The Harder They Fall)

See on Amazon


Translating a French review site, it sounds like Sahara is nicely restored. Here's hoping there's also a R1 release for all these titles someday (except of course Lonely Place is already on Criterion).

 

[RICK BOND]

I own 12 Bogart Blurays and 11 HD Digital on Amazon Prime !

 

[AnthonyClarke]

Well, my absolute favourites are Casablance, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep and The African Queen.
My very modest Blu ray collection is'

1. The Maltese Falcon
2. Casablanca (2012 box set)
3. The Big Sleep
4. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
5. The African Queen
6. Beat the Devil
7. Sabrina
8. To Have or Have Not
9. Key Largo
10. The Caine Mutiny

I thought I only had maybe half a dozen until I counted! What a formidable actor.....

I'm not sure if you have added them since your original post but you were missing these from WAC:
Dark Passage
The Big Sleep
To Have and To Have not

And this one from WHV:
Treasure of Sierra Madre

Wac has released quite a few Bogart movies

Those are Bogart movies I don't care for. I read Chain Lightning 1950 is coming from WBArchive. That was Not a Good one for Bogey either. I Love Eleanor Parker too. They Drive By Night needs to be released !
