A really good film biography of Humphrey Bogart would have concentrated on his difficult rise to stardom during the 1930s and early 40s. However, this pedestrian movie emphasizes his battles with Mayo Methot and his marriage to Lauren Bacall. Kevin O'Connor tries, but cannot come close to matching the real Bogart; Kathryn Harrold is much, much better as Bacall, and turns in a fine performance. Bogart's final battle with throat cancer is portrayed as a shallow soap opera, and the inconclusive ending (Bogart sailing in his boat) is particularly bad. Might be worth watching on a slow night, but don't confuse this movie with a good biographical film...it's not even close.
