It's hard to think of anyone who has had the kind of lasting impact on the culture of movies as Humphrey Bogart. Though he died at age fifty-seven more than half a century ago, his stature hasn't faltered, and his influence among actors and filmmakers is as strong as ever. What gives this man, with his lisp and unconventional looks, such a unique place in our culture? Here Stefan Kanfer offers the final word on why there can only ever be one Bogie. (Bestseller)
