Synopsis

Here is Humphrey Bogart: the pro's pro on the set and the Hollywood renegade off it; the man's man, the ladies' man, the hard worker, and the man who liked to drink too much; the husband in three rollercoaster marriages and finally one perfect match; the proud father and absentee parent; the good friend and even better enemy.Writing with the encouragement of his famous mother, Lauren Bacall, Stephen calls on his memories as well as the access he had to friends and colleagues of his father. The result is an intimate and personal profile of an enigmatic man whose tough image contrasted with very human ambitions and vulnerabilities.This vastly entertaining book is filled with fascinating stories involving Frank Sinatra, Katherine Hepburn, "Swifty" Lazar, John Huston, Jason Robards, and many others.

It didn't tell me much about Bogart that I didn't already know, but it was interesting......more

Goodreads review by Chris on May 01, 2018

The writing isn't the greatest but the honesty is top-notch. There's a jaw-dropping moment in here that shows how shitty being the kid of movie stars could actually be. That alone is worth the read.......more
