"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

Lauren Bacall by Ruth Orkin

Procrastination Theatre: March 17, 2011

With all due respect to Miss Monroe, there’s a reason I didn’t pick the poster with only her on it, because this movie is Lauren Bacall’s game. Humphrey taught her pretty damn well how to steal movies. She’s got an emotional complexity in an otherwise frivolous and goofy situational movie. But, truly, Marilyn is adorable in this movie as the girl who is embarrassed to wear the glasses she badly needs.

I’ve always liked older men. Look at Roosevelt, Churchill - look at what’s-his-name in African Queen. Crazy about him.
Lauren Bacall in How to Marry a Millionaire. I chortled.

Sorry, Lauren Bacall and I have a New Year’s Eve date.

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.”
