With a mixture of lists, chronologies, humorous anecdotes, challenging trivia, test-your-knowledge quizzes, controversial quotes from and about Bogie, and a complete bibliography and filmography, The Ultimate Bogie reveals everything about the wonderful world of Humphrey Bogart.

This is a book for Bogart fans but they will already know most of the information. At least they will have a guide now as to where to turn for more.

I guess Jack Nicholson is the closest thing to him today. But if you're hoping that this book might serve as a how-to-be-Bogart book, you're mistaken. There's much more to Bogart than a cigarette and Fedora. I guess it's something you either have or don't have. It's what makes each of us unique. He wasn't exactly a handsome man, but he sure had presence. But if there was a how-to-be-Bogart book, this would be it. It's like the Bogart almanac. It has all the dates, the statistics, the quotes, the films, the radio programs, the plays, and the television appearances in glorious detail. If you're a Bogart fan, this book's for you. If you aren't a fan, this book will make you one. Oh, and you should also see Casablanca.
