Editorial review of A&E Biography Humphrey Bogart, courtesy of Amazon.com

Humphrey Bogart‘s screen career followed an offbeat trajectory from villain to antihero to romantic icon, an evolution that underscores the acting craft beneath that familiar persona. This well-crafted profile from A&E’s Biography series brackets that compelling arc by chronicling Bogart’s success in establishing a public image that was genuinely against type, given his origins in a privileged New York family, and his early stage career in roles far removed from the gangsters, gunsels, and blue-collar Everymen that dominated his years toiling on the Warner Bros. Pictures studio lot as a character actor.
