From Rick (of "Rick's Cafe") to Charlie Allnut, from Sam Spade to Fred C. Dobbs, Humphrey Bogard created a gallery of unforgetable film characters. Through most of his career, he epitomizeed the tough minded, hard bitten man who often (but not always) adhered to a private code of honor and decency. Alan Barbour's profusely illustrated book examines the man, the actor, and the myth and evaluates the over seventy films that have kept Bogart a never-fading legend over the years.
