KEY LARGO
ON Edit

(155 posts)Key Largo. Excellent movie and Bogart is one of my favorite actors. He and Ms. Bacall were supporters of liberal causes. I can think of few first roles that made such an impression on me than her role in "To Have and Have Not". "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow." She was 19 when she did this movie. Sensational.

(18,964 posts)The chemistry between Bogie and Bacall in that movie literally lit up the screen...I've been (secretly) madly in love with Loren since the first time I saw that movie.

This was the era when libs held their heads up and stood up to crud bags.

Great flick with Bogie and Bacall.

Thanks much for posting it.

(12,165 posts)It was never not cool, but you know what I mean. Reinvigorating the progressive movement will go down in history as one of President Obama's greatest accomplishments along side ACA, gay rights, immigration reform and on and on.
Someone posted that they are grateful to be in the prime of their life to experience the Obama era. I feel exactly the same way! I would have followed him as a college student, but I appreciate him more after living through Reagan and two bushes.

(10,597 posts)Someone, maybe you & sheshe2, should start an album of sorts, of Democrats-Liberals-Progressives down through time with one of their quotes. Place them in one album and publish that sucker.
I would purchase several copies of it myself!

(2,181 posts)I watched the movie The Shootist. Excellent movie with a first rate cast including Lauren Bacall.

(3,059 posts)I always thought that was John Wayne's best, even better than True Grit. And Bacall was fantastic, but then again, when wasn't she? Damn, she's 88? If I make it to that age, I hope I look half as good as her. Talk about cheekbones.

(1,150 posts)Off-topic a bit, but his best film was The Man who Shot Liberty Valance, and I'd argue the point with the best of 'em

(51,745 posts)What a class act she is! I remember watching her old movies when I was a kid in the early 70s and thinking wow, she was so ahead of her time. I wanted to be just like her, in those elegant pants, confident and gorgeous.
