dsclassic Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 4 movies , I havent seen 3 of them, having just seen Tokyo Joe, which ok, but not a keeper for me... Being a Bogart fan I have to see Joe, Sirocco, & Sahara - my co-worker says they are all ok, but nothing special Arsenic & Old Lace is supposed to be a goodie ... Anyone have anything to comment on this quartet of classics > Message was edited by: dsclassic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennethlawson Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I am a Big Bogart fan and Love almost anything with him in it, Sahara is very good, I've seen it a couple of times, and enjoyed it, I haven't seen the others so I can't speak for them If you get the chance see Sahara,, The original, not the remake,,, Arsenic and old lace is good too...

dsclassic Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I fell asleep during Sirocco....I will watch it again Im a tired man from all this Christmas hooplah ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfp2 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I'd say both Sirocco and Tokyo Joe are average, but nothing special. Sahara is one of my favorite WWII movies. Bogie is fine and it has a great supporting cast and Arsenic is, in my book, great comedy. I must have seen it at least 20 times and I laugh just as hard every time.Well worth checking out.

kimpunkrock Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Sahara is awesome and is essential Bogart. I love that movie so much. Tokyo Joe is ok. I have the dvd cuz l love bogie. Sirocco is not that good but entertaining if u like Bogie. Arsenic and Old Lace is an essential! But I highly recommend Sahara. It is one of the best world war 2 movies made during the war. - kpr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineSage_jr Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 The underrated SAHARA's one of my favorite war movies, and second-favorite Bogart film. The picture features a great score by Mikl?s R?zsa who, that same year, 1943, wrote a better score for Billy Wilder & Charles Brackett''s FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO, a similarly-themed film that's even better than Zolt?n Korda's SAHARA. PS: Unusual as it may be, the transfer of SAHARA that TCM shows actually looks better than the pre-recorded DVD issued by Columbia (they're obviously different transfers, and I've compared them side-by-side). You can save yourself $20 by recording the film the next time TCM airs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I recently rented *Tokyo Joe* and *Sahara* myself. I thought the former OK and the latter good, though not my kind of movie. I still haven't seen *Sirocco* so that will be added to my "queue". *Arsenic and Old Lace* is a treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsclassic Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I guess Sirocco is a bore,,,I keep falling asleep when I watch it.. Its a renter, but not worth keeping I suppose....not really an all time Bogart classic by any means.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
