Film Courage: When I look at a lot of Humphrey Bogart movies he seems to play the same character (all of which are enjoyable to watch) but I don’t see him especially flawed. I haven’t watched all of his films.
He plays someone very confident, definitely arrogant. What do you see as the flaw he needs to overcome? He has to push women away. They are falling all over him. What is his flaw?
Jill Chamberlain, Script Consultant/Author/Writer: I think…I’m going to criticize Humphrey Bogart a little bit.
I like him but there is something in the way (and I try not to blame actors too much because we never know all that is going on because I’m not sure how they are directed) in that he is a little too reserved in some ways.
Someone actually on Amazon docked me a point. They liked my book a lot but they didn’t like that I pointed out that had CASABLANCA followed…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).
