Explores the iconic actor's journey to stardom through his relationships with his mother and four wives, including Lauren Bacall, using rare footage and his own narration to offer an intimate portrait of a deserving star.
"Humphrey Bogart is one of the definitive figures of Hollywood’s Golden Age, a face immortalized by classics like Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon, and who defined eras such as film noir. Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes has been promoted as the first official documentary about his life, and it couldn’t be better described: the film narrates the legend's life from his beginnings to his final days, moving from point A to B to C without many contrasts, nuances, or new information for those already familiar with the actor. However, as an introduction to the legacy of one of the greatest stars in Hollywood history (and cinema, period), it works very well."
