Early life

Bogart was in New York City, the first Belmont DeForest Bogart child is born (July 1867, Watkins Glen, New York September 8, 1934, Tudor City apartments, New York, New York) and Maud Humphrey (1868 1940). Belmont and Maud were married in June 1898th His father ancestors were Dutch, English and Spanish origin. [Edit] Bogart is a Dutch name means Rchard. The family his mother were largely Welsh of English descent and a lesser degree. [Edit] Bogart's father was a Presbyterian, while his mother was an Episcopalian. Bogart was raised in his mother's faith.

Bogart's birthday has been a subject of controversy. It was long believed that his birthday on Christmas Day 1899, a Warner Bros. fiction created to romanticize his background, and that he was really born on January 23, 1899, a date that appears in many articles. However, this History now as unfounded: although no birth certificate has never been found to have noticed his birth, in a New York newspaper published in early January 1900, December 1899 Date support, as well as other sources, such as the 1900 population.

Childhood

Bogart's father, Belmont, was a surgeon specializing in heart and lungs. His mother, Maud Humphrey, was a commercial illustrator who received her art education in New York and France, including study with James McNeill Whistler, and later director of the fashion magazine the Delineator. She was a militant feminist. She used a drawing of baby Humphrey in a well-known advertising campaign for Mellins Baby Food. In her prime, she made over $ 50,000 per year, a large sum, far more than her husband $ 20,000 per year. The Bogarts lived in a posh Upper West Side apartment, and an elegant house was on a fifty-five acre estate in upstate New York on Canandaigua Lake. As a teenager would be Humphrey's gang of friends the lake rely on theatrics.

Humphrey was the oldest of three children, he had two younger sisters, Frances and Catherine Elizabeth (Kay). His parents were very formal, busy in their careers, and often in small foughtesulting emotion directed at the children: "I was up very unsentimental, but brought very straightforward. A kiss, in our family, was an event. Our mother and father did not glug of my two sisters and me. "As a boy, Bogart was teased for his curls, its order, the "cute" pictures his mother had him pose for the Little Lord Fauntleroy clothes she dressed him innd the name "Humphrey." From his Father Bogart inherited a tendency for needling people, a preference for fishing, a life long love of sailing and an attraction for strong-willed women.

Education

The Bogarts sent their son to private schools. Humphrey began the school in Delancy school through fifth grade, when he was enrolled in Trinity School. He was an indifferent, sullen student who showed no interest in activities after school. Later he went to the prestigious preparatory school Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, where he was taken on family relationships. They hoped he would go to Yale, but in 1918, Bogart was expelled.

The details his expulsion are disputed: one story claims that he was expelled for throwing the headmaster (Alternatively, a groundskeeper) in rabbit Pond, an artificial Lake on campus. Another cites smoking and drinking, with poor school performance and possibly combining some intemperate comments to the staff. It was also said that he is indeed out of school by his father because his scientists to improve it, as opposed to the designation withdrawn. In any case, his parents were deeply shocked of the events and their failed plans for his future.

Navy

Coming up with no alternative choice of career, Bogart followed his love for Sea and sailors in the United States Navy in the spring of 1918. He later recalled, t eighteen, was the great war stuff. Paris! French girls! Hot Damn! 20] Bogart is a model sailor who spent most of recorded his months in the Navy following the armistice was signed, transferring troops from Europe back.

Trademark scar

It was during his naval stint that Bogart may have become his trademark scar and developed his characteristic lisp, even though the facts are unclear. In an account with a bombardment of his ship USS Leviathan, his lip was cut by a piece of shrapnel, although some claim Bogart did not make it to sea until after the Armistice was signed. Another version, which Bogart's long time friend, Nathaniel Benchley, the author claims, The truth is that Bogart was injured while on assignment to a naval prisoner to Portsmouth Naval Prison take in Kittery, Maine. Allegedly, during transfer in Boston, the handcuffed prisoner asked Bogart for a cigarette and while Bogart looked for a match, lifted the prisoner on his hands smashed Bogart the mouth with his arm, cutting Bogart's lip, and fled. The prisoner was eventually taken to Portsmouth. An alternative explanation is in the process of uncuffing an inmate was beaten Bogart in the mouth when the occupant is an open, without cuff bracelet swung, while the other was still on his wrist. After Darwin Porter's Humphrey Bogart: The Early Years, was the scar from his father, Belmont, while causing a terrible battle.

By the time of a Bogart Doctors treated the scar had already formed. "Damn, doctor," Bogart later told David Niven, "instead of stitching it up, he screwed up." Niven says that when he asked Bogart about his scar, he said it was an accident caused by childhood Niven makes the stories that Bogart the scar during wartime were made by the studios to inject glamor was. His post-service physical makes no mention of the lip scar, although it mentions many small scars, so that the actual Cause may come later. As an actress Louise Brooks met Bogart in 1924, he had repaired some scar tissue on his upper lip, which may in part before the Belmont Bogart Bogart went into films in 1930. She believes his scar had nothing to do with his distinctive speech patterns, his "lip wound gave him no speech impediment, either before or after it was patched. Over the years, Bogart practiced all kinds of lip gymnastics, by nasal tones, snarls, lisps and arches supported. His painful wince, his empty, his devious Grin were the most ever seen on film. "

Early career

Bogart came home to find Belmont suffered from a bad back Health (perhaps aggravated by morphine addiction), his medical practice had stalled and he lost much of the family money on bad investments in timber. During his Navy Day, Bogart's character and values developed independently of the influence of the family, and he began to rebel some of their values. He was a liberal, rights, counterfeiting and snobs are hated, and at times he defied conventional behavior and authority, traits he displayed in life and in his films. On the other hand, he kept their traits of good manners, expression, punctuality, modesty, and an aversion to touch.

After his naval service, Bogart worked as a shipper and then bond salesman. He joined the Naval Reserve.

More importantly, he resumed his friendship with childhood friend Buddy Bill Brady, Jr., whose father, show business connections, and finally got an office job at Bogart William A. Brady Sr. 's new film company World. Bogart got to to try his hand writer, director and producer, but excelled at none. For a while he was stage manager for Brady's daughter play a ruined lady. A few Months later, in 1921, Bogart made his stage debut in Drifting as a Japanese butler in another Alice Brady play, nervous speak a line dialogue. More more appearances in later plays. Bogart liked the actor kept late hours, and had enjoyed the attention of an actor on stage. He explained was born to be slow and this was the softest of rackets.

He spent much of his free time in speakeasies and became a heavy drinker. A bar room brawl during this time could be the actual cause of the lip Bogart's claims have been, as this change coincides better with Louise Brooks.

Bogart was acted in the belief has grown from a gentleman, but he enjoyed the spectacle. He never took acting lessons, but was persistent and worked steadily at his craft. He appeared in at least seventeen Broadway productions between 1922 and 1935. He played second leads young people or romantic comedies in Salon. He should have said was the first actor to ask "Tennis, anyone?" on stage. Critic Alexander Woollcott wrote of Bogart's early work that he is "what is usually and mercifully described as inadequate. "Several reviews were children. Heywood Broun wrote nerve examination, Umphrey Bogart the most effective performance both dry and fresh when which are possible. Bogart loathed the trivial, effeminate parts he had to play early in his career, calling them "White Pants Willie" roles.

Early in his career, while doubling the game roles in the play Drifting at Playhouse Theatre in 1922, Bogart met actress Helen Menken. They were on 20 May 1926 at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City, on 18 November 1927 married divorced but remained friends. On 3 April 1928, he married Mary Philips at her mother's apartment in Hartford, Connecticut. How Menken, had a fiery temper and, like any other spouse was Bogart, an actress. He had met Mary when she appeared in the piece of nerve, had a very brief run at the Comedy Theatre in September 1924.

After the stock market crash of 1929, production fell off sharply, and for many of the more photogenic actors Hollywood passed. Bogart's earliest film role was found with Helen Hayes in the 1928 two Reeler The Dancing Town, of which a copy is never complete. He appeared with Joan Blondell in a Vitaphone short in 1930, which was rediscovered in 1963. Bogart then a contract with Fox Film Corporation for $ 750 per week. Spencer Tracy was a serious actor on Broadway, the Bogart liked and admired, and they became good friends and drinking buddies. It was Tracy, in 1930, who first called him "Bogey." (Varies according to many sources, spelled, spelled Bogart himself his nickname "Bogie".) Tracy and Bogart appeared together in their only film of John Ford's early tone Film Up the River (1930), both play inmates. It was Tracy's film debut. Bogart then carried out in the Bad Sister with Bette Davis in 1931, a minor role.

Bogart shuttled back and forth between Hollywood and the New York stage from 1930 to 1935, suffering long periods without work. His parents had separated, and Belmont died in 1934 in debt the Bogart eventually paid off. (Bogart inherited his father's gold ring he always wore, even in many of his films. At the deathbed of his father, Bogart finally told Belmont, how much he loved him.)

Bogart's second marriage was on the rocks, and he was satisfied with less than his acting career to date, he was depressed, irritable and drank a lot.

The Petrified Forest

Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Henry Fonda in the 1955 television Petrified Forest.

Bogart starred in the Broadway play Invitation to a Murder in the Theatre Masque, now John Golden Theatre, in 1934. Producer Arthur Hopkins is one of the game behind the stage and had to Bogart killer Duke Mantee in Robert E. Sherwood 's new play, escape to play The Petrified Forest. Hopkins recalls:

When I surprised the actor I saw was a little taken, for he was the one I never much admired. He was an antiquated youth, most of his stage life in white trousers swinging a tennis racket spent. He seemed so far from a cold-blooded killer, how to get there, but the voice (dry and tired) persisted, and the voice was Mantee's.

The play had 197 performances at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York in 1935. Leslie Howard, however, was the star. A critic The New York Times, Brooks Atkinson said of the game, peach a roaring Western melodrama Humphrey Bogart Bogart is not the best work of his career as actor.43], the film said arked my release from the ranks of the sleek, sybaritic, stiff-shirted, swallow-tailed moothies, which I seemed doomed to life. However, he was still feeling uncertain.

Warner Bros. bought the film rights to The Petrified Forest. The studio was famous for his socially-realistic, urban, low-budget action pictures, which seemed like the perfect play Accommodation for him, especially as was the public through real-life criminals like John Dillinger and Dutch Schultz carried away. Bette Davis and Leslie Howard were cast. Howard, the production Rights held, made it clear he wanted Bogart to star with him. The studio tested several Hollywood veterans for the Duke Mantee role, and chose Edward G. Robinson, had more star appeal and had to make a movie to satisfy his expensive contract. Bogart cabled news of this to Howard, who was in Scotland. Howard cabled reply was: tt: Jack Warner existence Bogart Bogart Play Mantee No No Deal LH. When Warner Bros. saw that Howard did not move, they gave in and cast Bogart. Jack Warner, famous for BUTTING heads with his stars tried to get Bogart to take a stage name, but stubbornly refused Bogart. Bogart never forgot Howard's favor, and in 1952 he called his only daughter, Leslie, after Howard, who died in World War II. Robert E. Sherwood remained a close friend of Bogart's.

Early film career

The film version of The Petrified Forest was released 1936th His appearance was as rilliant, ompelling and uperb. Despite his success in a Bogart film received a 26 weeks lukewarm contract at $ 550 per week and was typecast as a gangster in a number of "B-Movie" crime dramas. Bogart was proud of his success, but the fact that it came from playing a gangster weighed on him. He once said:

I can not get in a mild discussion without him in a fight. There must be something in my tone of voice, or that each of these arrogant faceomething be antagonized. Nobody likes me on sight. I suppose that's why I'm having a hard cast.

Bogart's roles were not only repetitive, but physically exhausting and draining (Studios were not air conditioned), and his regimented, tightly scheduled job at Warner was not exactly eachy actor's life, he hoped. But he was always professional and respected in the rule by other actors. In the "B-Movie" Bogart's began developing its durable film persona, the wounded, stoic, cynical, charming, vulnerable, self-mocking loner with a core of honor.

Bogart's disputes were similar, with Warner Bros. about roles and money which the studio with other less-than-obedient stars like Bette Davis, James Cagney, Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland was.

James Cagney Bogart and Jeffrey Lynn met in The Roaring Twenties (1939), Bogart and Cagney's last film together.

The studio system, with its entrenched, actors usually limited to a studio, with occasional loan-outs and Warner Bros. had no interest because Bogart a top star. Shooting on a new movie, perhaps days or only hours after shooting completed prior to the start. Any actor who refused a role could be suspended without pay. Bogart did not like the role for him chosen, but he worked steadily: between 1936 and 1940, Bogart, on average, a movie every two months, sometimes even working on two simultaneously, such as films were not generally executed sequentially. Amenities at Warners were few in comparison to those of their fellow actors at MGM. Bogart thought that Warner's wardrobe department was cheap, and often wore his suits in his movies. In High Sierra, Bogart used his own dog Zero to play his character dog pard.

The leading men before Bogart at Warner Bros. included not only the classic stars like James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson, but also actors far less well known today, such as Victor McLaglen, George Raft and Paul Muni. Most of the studios were better scripts to these men and Bogart had to take what was left. He made films like Racket Busters, San Quentin, and you can not Get Away With Murder. The only substantial leading role he got during this period was in Dead End (1937), while Samuel Goldwyn, where he portrayed a gangster lent along the lines Baby Face Nelson. He wanted to play a variety of interesting supporting characters, as in Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) (where his character of James Cagney's shot). Bogart was gunned down on film repeatedly, by Cagney and Edward G. Robinson, among others. In Black Legion (1937), for a change, he is a good Man and destroyed by a racist organization, caught, played a movie called Graham Greene ntelligent and exciting, if somewhat seriously.

In 1938, Warner Bros. him in a "hillbilly musical" called Swing Your Lady as a wrestling promoter, and he later apparently considered this his worst film performance. In 1939, Bogart played a mad scientist in The Return of Doctor X. He cracked, "If it had been Jack Warner Bloodiest not so much like-minded people would have. The Problem it was I drank and I made this stinking movie. "

Dark Victory (1939) was one of the last films in which he played a supporting role.

Mary Philips, in her own sizzling stage hit "A Touch of Brimstone (1935), refused to follow their career on Broadway to Hollywood with Bogart. After the game concluded, However, she went to Hollywood was, but insisted on continuing her career (she was a bigger star than he was), and they decided to divorce in 1937.

On 21 August 1938, entered Bogart in a disastrous third marriage, to actress Mayo Methot, a lively, friendly woman when sober, but paranoid, when drunk. She was convinced that her husband is cheating. The more she and Bogart drifted apart, the more they drank, got furious and threw him things: plants, crockery, all in close proximity. She even has the house on fire, stabbed him with a knife and cut her wrists on several occasions. Bogart for his part, they needled mercilessly and confrontation seemed to enjoy. He sometimes turned violent. The press called it just "the fight against Bogart. "The Bogart-Methot marriage to continue the civil war "Said their friend Julius Epstein. The Drew observed that" in his madness Methot. "During this time, Bogart bought a barge, which he called Sluggy after his nickname because of his hot-tempered woman. Despite his proclamations that "I like a jealous woman," "we understand ourselves so well together (Because) we do not have illusions about each other, "and" I would give you two cents for a lady not without temperament, "it was a very destructive Relationship.

In California in 1945, Bogart bought a 55-foot (17 m) sailing yacht, the Santana, of actor Dick Powell. The sea was his sanctuary, and he loved it to sail to Catalina Iceland. He was a serious sailor, by other sailors who had seen too many respected Hollywood actors and their boats. About 30 weekends a year, went he on his boat. He once said: "An actor needs something to his personality, to nail to stabilize something that he really is, not what it claims is currently be. "

He had a lifelong disgust for the sophisticated, counterfeit or wrong, as his son Stephen told Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne in 1999. Sensitive yet caustic, and disgusted by the inferior movies he was in the implementation, Bogart cultivated the identity of a mad idealist a man of better things in New York into exile, living by his wits, drinking too much, cursed to live his life among second-rate people and projects.

Bogart rarely saw his own films and premieres avoided. He took no part in the Hollywood gossip game or comfortable to newspaper columnists, nor in false politeness and admiration from colleagues and engaged behind the scenes back-stabbing. He even protected his privacy with invented press releases about his private life to satisfy the curiosity of the newspapers and the public. When he thought an actor, director or movie studio had done something shoddy, he spoke about it and was willing to be quoted. He advised Robert Mitchum that the only way to stay alive in Hollywood, a "are again the most." As a result, he was not the most popular actors, and some in the Hollywood community shunned him privately to avoid trouble with the studios. But the Hollywood press, unaccustomed openness, was thrilled. Bogart once said:

All over Hollywood, they are constantly told me: "Oh, you must not say What you will get a lot of trouble." When I notice that some images or writer or director or producer is not good. I do not get it. When he's not all good, why can not you say? If more people want to call it, could soon It started with some effect.

Rise to fame

High Sierra

directed High Sierra, a 1941 film by Raoul Walsh, had a screenplay by Bogart's Friend and drinking partner, John Huston, written after the novel by WR Burnett, adapted (Little Caesar, etc.). Both Paul Muni and George Raft declined the lead role, which Bogart the opportunity to play, a character some depth. The film was Bogart's last great film is a gangster (his last role was gangster in The Big Shot in 1942). Bogart worked well with Ida Lupino and her relationship with him was a close one, provoking jealousy by Bogart's wife Mayo.

The film cemented a strong personal and professional relationship between Bogart and Huston. Bogart admired and envied something Huston for his skill as a writer. Though a poor student, Bogart was a lifelong reader. He was unable to Plato, Pope, Ralph Waldo Emerson and over a thousand lines of Shakespeare. He subscribes to the Harvard Law Review. He admired writers, and some of his best friends were screenwriters, including Louis Bromfield, Nathaniel Benchley and Nunnally Johnson. Bogart enjoyed intense, provocative conversation and stiff drinks, as well as Huston. Both were rebellious and liked to play childish pranks. John Huston was reported to be bored easily during manufacture, and admired Bogart (who is also behind the Camera was easily bored), not only for his acting talent but for his intense concentration on the set.

The Maltese Falcon

Bogart as Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon

Raft rejected the male lead in John Huston's directorial debut The Maltese Falcon (1941), because of his, a tidy Version of the pre-Production Code The Maltese Falcon (1931), his contract provided that he does not appear in remakes. The original novel by Dashiell Hammett wrote, became the first Time in the pulp magazine Black Mask in 1929 published. It was also the basis for another movie version, Satan Met a Lady (1936). Bogart complementary co-stars Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Elisha Cook Jr., and Mary Astor as the treacherous woman film.

Bogart's sharp timing as a private detective Sam Spade was The cast and director praised as an indispensable condition for the fast action and rapid-fire dialogue. The film was a huge hit, and Huston, made a triumphant debut as a director. Bogart was unusually happy with him and remarked, "it's practically a masterpiece. I don have many things I proud, but this is one."

Casablanca

Bogart won his first real romantic lead in 1942's Casablanca, playing Rick Blaine, expatriate of the beleaguered nightclub owner, hidden from the past and negotiating a fine line between Nazis, the French underground, the Vichy Prefect and unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend. The film was directed by Michael Curtiz; produced by Hal Wallis and directed contained a strong cast including Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Paul Henreid, Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre and Dooley Wilson.

In real life, Bogart played tournament chess, one level below master's level, and often played with crew members and cast off. It was reportedly his idea that Rick Blaine be portrayed as chess players, also known as a metaphor for the sparring relationship of the characters of Bogart and Rains played in the film served. However, Paul Henreid proved to be the best players.

The on-screen magic of Bogart and Bergman was the result of the two actors do their Best work, no real spark of life, even though Bogart's always assumed jealous woman differently. From the amount, the co-stars hardly spoke during the filming, where they usually had a good reputation for affairs with her leading men. Since Bergman was taller than her leading man, Bogart had 3-inch (76 mm) blocks attached to his shoes in certain scenes. You should have said later: "I kissed him, but I have never." Years later, after Bergman had with the Italian director Roberto Rossellini made and bore him a child, Bogart confronted her. "They used to be a great star was," he said, "What do you now? "" A happy woman, "she said. [edit]

Casablanca won the 1943 Academy Award for best film. Bogart was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role, but lost to Paul Lukas for his performance in Watch on the Rhine. Still, for Bogart, it was a great triumph. The Film vaulted him from fourth place to first in the studio roster including more than James Cagney, and more than double his salary to 460,000 dollars a year on 1946, making him the highest paid actor in the world.

Bogart and Bacall

Bogart and Bacall interviewed during World War II.

Bogart Lauren Bacall met during the filming of Do and Do not (1944), a very loose adaptation of the novel, Ernest Hemingway. The film has many similarities to Casablanca same enemies, the same kind of hero, even a piano player sidekick (this time Hoagy Carmichael).

When they met, had been Bogart and Bacall nineteen forty-five. He nicknamed her "Baby." They had a model since she was sixteen and had failed in two plays acted. Bogart was Bacall's high cheekbones, green Eyes, blonde hair pulled Tawny, slender body and her attitude and earthy, outspoken honesty. Allegedly, he said, saw only a test. Wel have a lot of fun together. Their physical and emotional relationship was very strong from the beginning, and the age difference and different acting experience also has a new additional dimension of a Mentor-student relationship. In sharp contrast to the Hollywood norm, it was his first affair with an actress. Bogart was still married miserably, and his early meetings with Bacall were normal and short bridge their divisions by ardent love letters. The relationship was make it much easier for the newcomer in her first film, and Bogart did his best to calm her by joking with her and quietly coaching her. He let her steal scenes and even encourages them. Howard Hawks, for his part, also did his best to strengthen their performance and their role, and Bogart was easy to guide.

Hawks began some time, disapprove of the couple. Hawks stayed their protector and mentor, and Bogart was usurped that role. Hawks fell for Bacall as well (usually he avoided his star, and he was married). Hawks told her that nothing Bogart wanted and even threatened them to Monogram, the worst studio in Hollywood sending. Bogart reassured her and then went to Hawks. Jack Warner of the dispute and filming resumed. Out of jealousy, Hawks said of Bacall: "Bogie fell in love with the character she played, they had to continue playing the rest of their lives."

The Big Sleep

Just months after wrapping the film were Bogart and Bacall together again for United's second film, the film noir masterpiece The Big Sleep, after based on the novel by Raymond Chandler, again with the help of script William Faulkner. Chandler thoroughly admired Bogart's performance: "Bogart can be without a weapon Also hard he has a sense of humor that grating undertone of contempt contains .. "

Bogart was still torn between his new love and his Sense of duty, his marriage. The mood on set was tense, the actors tried both emotionally exhausted as Bogart, a solution to his dilemma. Once again, the dialogue full of sexual innuendo delivered by Hawks and Bogart is convincing as a private eye Philip Marlowe and permanently. At the end of the film was very successful, although some critics found the plot confusing and overly complicated.

Marriage

The divorce was initiated in February 1945. Bogart and Bacall then in a small ceremony married in the town of Bogart's close friend, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield at Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio 21 May 1945.

Bogart and Bacall moved into a $ 160,000 white brick mansion in an exclusive neighborhood in Holmby Hills.The marriage proved to be as happy, although it is the normal stress due to their differences. He was a homebody and she liked nightlife. He loved the sea, it made them sick. Bacall allowed Bogart lot of weekend time on his boat when she was seasick. Bogart's drink sometimes inflamed tensions.

Lauren Bacall gave birth to Stephen Humphrey Bogart on 6 January 1949. Stephen Bogart was the nickname of the character in "To Have and not designated, that Bogart a father at 49th Stephen would go on to a best-selling author and biographer, later a TV special presented by his father at Turner Classic Movies. They had their second child, Leslie Howard Bogart 23rd August 1952, a girl named after British actor Leslie Howard, who was killed in World War II were.

Later career

The enormous success of "Casablanca, Bogart's new career. For the first time, Bogart was successful as a tough, strong Man to be thrown, and at the same time as vulnerable love interest. Despite increased standing Bogart's, he has not a contractual right of refusal scripts, if he was so weak script, he dug in his heels, and locked horns again with the front office, as he did on the film Conflict (1943). Although he presented Jack Warner on the image, he successfully rejected God my Co-Pilot (1945). While part of the 1943 and 1944, Bogart went on USO tours and War Bond accompanied by Mayo, lasting arduous Travel to Italy and North Africa, including Casablanca.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Riding high in 1947 with a new contract that a script Refusal rights and right to get form his own production company, Bogart to John Huston for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, a powerful story of greed, three gold seekers reunited played in the dusty back country of Mexico. If there is no love story or a happy ending, it was considered a risky project. Bogart later said co-star (and John Huston's father), Walter Huston, "He is probably the only actor in Hollywood, which I gladly lost scene."

The film was grueling to make, and was conducted in the summer for more realism and atmosphere. James Agee wrote, "Bogart is a wonderful job with this character miles from the high quality of work he has done before. John Huston won the Academy Award for directing and screenplay and his father won as Best Supporting Actor, but the film had mediocre box office results. Bogart complained n, intelligent script, fine differentnd directedomething the public turned a cold shoulder on him. "

The Un-American Activities Committee

Bogart, a liberal Democrat, organized a delegation to Washington, DC, the committee called for the First Amendment during the height of the McCarthy era, against the House Un-American Activities Committee's harassment of Hollywood writers and actors. He wrote later, an article in the March 1948 issue of Photoplay "I am not a Communist" magazine in which he distanced himself from the Hollywood Ten, the negative publicity, which led from his performance to meet. Bogart wrote: "The ten men cited for contempt by the House Un-American Activities Committee were not accepted by us. "

Santana Productions

In addition to better offered, the roles, he started his own production company in 1948, Santana Productions, named after his private sailing yacht. (Santana also the name of the yacht in the 1948 movie Key Largo was presented). Jack Warner was reportedly furious about that, though in Bogart Contract fear that other stars would be the same and the major studios want their power to lose. The studios, however, were already under strong pressure not only from professional Actors such as Bogart, James Stewart, Henry Fonda and others (also saved taxes as independents), but also from the eroding effect of television and of anti-trust laws, were breaking up theater chains. Bogart carried out in his last film for Warner, Chain Lightning, and The Enforcer, published both in their early 1950th

After Bogart's Santana Productions, played by Columbia Pictures, Bogart in Knock on Any Door (1949), Tokyo Joe (1949), In a Lonely Place (1950), Sirocco (1951) and Beat the Devil (1954). While most of his films lost money at the box office (the main reason for Santana's End), are at least two of them still remember, In a Lonely Place is now recognized as a masterpiece of film noir. Bogart plays embittered writer Dixon Steele, who has a history of violence and is also a suspect in a murder case that he falls in love with a failed actress played by Gloria Grahame. Many biographers of Bogart and actress / author Louise Brooks agreed that the role of the next Bogart is one's true self and considers his best performance. She wrote that the film ave him a role that he could play with complexity, because the Film character stabbed pride in his art, his selfishness, drunkenness, lack of energy with lightning strikes of violence were shared by the real Bogart. The character even mimics Bogart's some personal habits, including twice ordering Bogart's favorite meal of ham and eggs.

Beat the Devil, his last film with his close friend and favorite of director John Huston, also enjoys a fan base. Co-Truman Capote, written the film is a parody of The Maltese Falcon, and is a Story of an amoral group of villains chasing an unattainable treasure, in this case uranium.

Bogart sold his interest in Santana to Columbia over $ 1,000,000 in 1955.

The Panda Incident

Bogart and his friend Bill Seeman arrived at the El Morocco Club in New York City after midnight in 1950.
