Humphrey Bogart

Humphrey Bogart (1899-1957) is often described as the greatest Hollywood star of all time. On screen he was the cynical tough guy in the trench coat, the flawed hero. Off screen his life was the stuff of legends. Stephen Bogart guides viewers through this revealing account of his father's life and examines Bogie’s screen performances in the light of his own intimate knowledge. Lauren Bacall – Bogart’s fourth wife – is among the contributors to the programme.
