They were the ultimate power couple. Both had great charisma.

[@jayjay86443]

Indeed, they were a power couple. Lots of people get nervous being in the same room as them because their energy was intense, and not just because they were Citizen Kane level famous at the time. Good intense, as in they talked a lot, they're bolder than the rest, they vibed well together, the room's focused on their energy, etc. Not bad divorcy intense.

So you think they ALL had it back then?? In any given time, some people (celebs or not) have it and some do not. Keep in mind a lot of celebs over share on social media so we learn things about them that aren’t so impressive sometimes. In the “olden days” much more was a secret except the fictional crap in movie magazines.

[@owenmcgee8496]

A great thing about youtube is the amount of interesting interview clips, and the like, that can be seen at the touch of a button. At the back of my mind, I still expect to only hear such things "once in a blue moon" either on the radio or tv. How many hours tv could someone spend watching before finding an interesting interview? Oh well. I watched Key Largo last night for the first time in years. It was the last film in which Bogart played the character he is best known for (underdog, reluctant hero type) and the last one he did with Bacall. Good film. But I'm not sure how much Bogart, or Bacall, made the film. I think it was down to the style of storytelling. A lot of those old 40s movies could bear the subtitle "a study in character". And that's what they had: character. Bogart & Bacall were the beneficiaries of that more than its producer, I think. Similar thought hit me watching the John Garfield movie, "Force of Evil", a few nights before. Garfield's movies (including the boxing one) were later remade by Scorsese decades later, but the originals had infinitely more character to them, I think, and even intelligence (amongst the violence). They had a rounded view. Compare an Edward G. Robinson gangster with an Al Pacino one, and what do you have? The latter is played as if an audience literally gets their kicks from violence. The former is played as if audience has the intelligence to see through all the violence. Ditto Scarface (1931) vs. Scarface (1983). That being said, gangster films aren't really made to be edifying....so I guess my whole comment is pointless, lol. More to the point: Bacall's acting in Key Largo & Dark Passage was, on the balance, probably much better than her acting in Big Sleep & To Have Or Have Not; the four movies she did with Bogart. But I'd say the latter two have always been the most popular and most well known. Oh well. My memory tells me that another 40s American hard-boiled drama that I ought to watch again someday is All The King's Men with Broderick Crawford. Good entertainment? Yah.

Something that I also found out later in life was his long term relationship that he had with his (hairdresser I think ?).
