"He slept that night in his own country and he had a dream wherein he saw God's pilgrims laboring upon a darkened verge in the last of the twilight of that day and they seemed to be returning from some deep enterprise that was not of war nor were they yet in flight but rather seemed coming from some labor to which perhaps these and all other things stood subjugate."
The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy

I’ve always liked older men. Look at Roosevelt, Churchill - look at what’s-his-name in African Queen. Crazy about him.

Alyssa Rosenberg ponders Humphrey Bogarts rise as an American icon:

It was something in Humphrey Bogart’s eyes, and the flat bemusement in his voice that made those lines so good, of course. In his new biography of Bogart, Tough Without a Gun (out today in print and e-book from Knopf), Stefan Kanfer provides a deft, brief sketch of how Bogart learned to put those intangibles into a performance. But he gives short shrift to, and ultimately fails to answer, the more compelling question he poses in the book: How did an actor who was limited to embodying the particular stresses of America in depression and war become inimitable—and immortal?

Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not (1944, dir. Howard Hawks)

Q. How did the Bacall character in To Have and Have Not develop?

Howard Hawks: We discovered that she was a little girl who, when she became insolent, became rather attractive. That was the only way you noticed her, because she could do it with a grin. So I said to Bogey, “We are going to try an interesting thing. You are about the most insolent man on the screen and I’m going to make a girl a little more insolent than you are.”

“Well,” he said, “you’re going to have a fat time doing that.” And I said, “No, I’ve got a great advantage because I’m the director. I’ll tell you just one thing: she’s going to walk out on you in every scene.” So as every scene ended, she walked out on him. It was a sex antagonism, that’s what it was, and it made the scenes easy.

-excerpted from Howard Hawks: Interviews

“What it felt like to be so wanted, so adored! No one had ever felt like that about me. It was all so dramatic, too. Always in the wee small hours when it seemed to Bogie and me that the world was ours - that we were the world. At those times we were.”
