The wife finds my obsession with Humphrey Bogart more than a little annoying at times. She thinks quoting lines from "The Big Sleep" randomly during the day is not funny at all. Example: Wife: "Can you get some milk on your way back?" Me: "Those are harsh words to throw at a man, especially when he's walking out of your bedroom"
Who does not love Bogart? In fact, the city of New York loves him so much they have decided to name a block after him. Bogart was born in NYC and lived there till 1923.
The next time we are watching "Casablanca" and that piece of dialogue about New York comes up, there's going to be some really loud cheering.

...er, I don't...in fact, I consider him most overrated.

Bogie is *perfectly* rated :))

I trust you've seen "Play It Again, Sam" then.
VB, that's the *only* Woody movie that somehow always mysteriously eludes me. One of these weekends...
Hey, I *love* correcting people about PIAS. :)
Although Woody and Diane star in that film, it is *not* directed by Woody. The screenplay was adapted from a Woody play, but the film was directed by Herbert Ross, whose "Goodbye Girl" also bears watching.
