Bogie night
I caught up with the old movies I had grabbed off Turner Classic Movies. I watched "Desk Set" last night, then did a doubleheader of Bogie movies with "Maltese Falcon" and "Dark Passage". They also showed "Big Sleep", but I already have the dvd. I'm curious which version they showed. "Falcon" is still a great movie, even if Mary Astor still sets my teeth on edge as Brigid. "Dark Passage" was the only one I hadn't seen before. It was a very odd Bogie/Bacall movie. Bogie played an escaped convict. He wasn't even shown on camera for the first hour, so there were a lot of odd camera angles to avoid his face, similar to how it was used in "Lady in the Lake". Bacall was more subdued in this one. So used to her as Endora in "Bewitched", I almost didn't recognize the younger Agnes Moorehead, stealing every scene she could.
