Kathryn Ferguson's documentary about Humphrey Bogart uses existing clips and interviews to explore his extraordinary life, love, and turbulent marriages, highlighting both his cinematic legacy and personal struggles.
Bogart, son of a surgeon and an artist, transformed from a potential bourgeois professional to an iconic Hollywood actor, owing greatly to his rugged looks and distinctive voice.
Ferguson portrays Bogart’s complex marital history as a Tudor legend; each of his wives provided essential support, but notably, Lauren Bacall empowered him in his later years.
Despite immense success and an indelible mark on American cinema, Bogart's life was marred by his heavy drinking and smoking, which culminated in his premature death at 57.
