Saturday Man Movie

This saturday's man Movie is the Caine Mutiny (1954), starring Humphrey Bogart as Captain Queeg. I chose it in part because I like Bogey, and in part because Queeg is a dead ringer for a supervisor that I currently work under.

Yep. My boss would be the sort to obsess over a quart of strawberries, too.
Climactic typhoon scene.


And in the end, Queeg comes apart.

Blaming everyone beneath him. yep--I definitely know someone like that. But Bogey was always way cooler.

Saturday Man Movie

In this clip from Deadline USA (1952), Humphrey Bogart stars as crusading newspaper editor Ed Hutcheson, having a discussion with gangster Tomas Rienzi.
"Cool" doesn't begin to describe Bogie. Hollywood should have just one star of his caliber today. Sadly, they don't.

Saturday Morning Man Movie

Today we get a clash between two of Hollywood's real men--James Cagney vs. Humphrey Bogart in The Roaring Twenties, a 1939 film from Warner Brothers.

Eddie (Cagney) and George (Bogart) are World War One buddies who fall into bootlegging during Prohibition. They do pretty well for a while, but the friendship soon goes by the wayside.

Eddie eventually hits the skids due to the stock market crash and a bad deal with George. George continues to do well, however. In the end, Eddie confronts George over George's plan to murder the guy who stole a gal that Eddie loves. And things kind of go downhill for both men during that meeting.
