Someone once said Lauren Bacall had a voice so husky it should be pulling a sled

[@annieyahu676]

This movie was released in 1946. It was made in 1945. Bogart and Bacall were married in1945. This scene was shot just days after they first got married. The sexual banter was real, and it was hard for them to keep a straight face as they were shooting it. I always loved them together in movies. I wish Bogart had been well enough to make the last one together that they were working on just before he past away. They were so good together ❤️.

[@laurabarber7438]

I despair when I watch day-time and evening television (the successor to film these days, sadly) and the talentless clots that appear in the many awful lifestyle and drama programmes. I am so grateful for some of the film channels in the digisphere, where I can watch these classics. I wish that talent such as Bogie and Bacall would return to earth but don't hold out much hope. Thanks for posting this on KZbin.

[@brookehanley3659]

+Telstar I agree. Double Indemnity was good too. Gotta love the movies of the 1940's,

[@lordalessan]

In her autobiography, Lauren Bacall revealed that during this filming, Bogart confessed to her that he returned to his wife, Mayo Methot, to give it another shot. They separated prior to it and he was already having an affair with Bacall. Bacall was distraught and in so much tears, that producers had to give her ice to press on her face to reduce the redness. The rest of filming was tough. My goodness, it was so hard to tell how awkward it must've been for them while filming this. Brilliant acting!

[@lordalessan]

She was in love with him. They paired well together. Bacall also gave Bogie the peace and happiness he never had with his previous wives (one tried to bite his ear off and the other would just hit him when he was drunk). It was a rough start, but they were happily married.

[@5050TM]

+B. AKA She never had a father around. She confessed that he was a father figure to her. I really think that was the basis of their relationship. It wasn't "true love", which naturally includes monogamy, but more a deep caring and understanding of each other (huge faults and all since Bogey was not only an adulterer, but also a drinker) that kept them together, I believe. It was a very deep friendship that just happened to include marriage and lovemaking lol.

[@bethmiletti9540]

Friendship my ass. He was devoted to Bacall. He was twice her age, and was not stupid enough to play around.

It is so simple to see. Bacall married him for his bank account. That way she could travel make a fortune on films and still have affairs. She admits while Bogie was dying of cancer, she was in bed with Sinatra. That is in her autobiography. Read IT !!
