Humphrey Bogart: The Signature Collection, Volume
II

In 1999 for their "100 Years . . . 100 Stars", the American Film Institute
named Humphrey Bogart the number one American screen legend among 50 male
movie stars, past and present.
On-screen, the actor has been a favorite throughout the world since the
1940s. Off-screen, Bogie was one of Peter Lorre's closest friends, his drinking buddy
and partner-in-practical-jokes.
Warner Home Video has restored (from the original camera negatives) and
digitally remastered five Bogart films, three of which co-starred Lorre.
