What is your favorite #HumphreyBogart film to watch this #Noirvember?
#NationalChessDay is a good day to remember how much Humphrey Bogart loved the game of #chess, and how strong of a player he was. In his early twenties, before coming to Hollywood, Bogie hustled chess games in Central Park and Coney Island for dimes and quarters in order to pay his bar tabs around town. Bogart eventually became such a strong player that he achieved a draw against grandmaster Samuel Reshevsky. Bogie played chess every chance he had, and he was active as a tournament director for the US Chess Federation and the CA State Chess Association. During WWII, Bogart played chess by mail with US troops until he was ordered to stop by the FBI, which feared the chess notations were secret codes. It was Bogie’s idea to make Casablanca’s Rick Blaine a chess player.

To Have and Have Not, the first of four films starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, premiered in New York City on this day in 1944. You know how to whistle, don’t you?
The Maltese Falcon, the classic film noir that launched Humphrey Bogart to stardom as a leading man, premiered in New York City on this day in 1941. The film about the black bird, one of Bogie’s very best, is a film of firsts. It is the directorial debut of John Huston, the acting debut of Sydney Greenstreet, and the first film where Humphrey Bogart was cast as the leading man!
One of our (many) favorite photos of the one and only Humphrey Bogart! 😍
