He then (if I remember the plot) has plastic surgery and, when we see him, he's become Bogie.
You remember correctly. It was part of the Bogie and Bacall boxed set (along with The Big Sleep, Key Largo and Too Have and Have Not)
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Robert Montgomery directed and "starred" in the 1947 version of Raymond Chandler's "Lady in the Lake". The whole plot takes place from the lead character's POV, so you only see him when he's reflected in something.
Something tells me that's probably a tad obscure, though.

Thanks everyone for your help. I figured there was something obvious that I just wasn't thinking of but I guess not.

Mea culpa. Sorry. (Didn't get much sleep last night.)

So the Avatar movie lost the battle to James Cameron: it'll be called The Last Airbender. Release date of July 2, 2010. M. Night's comments are promising, although I hope he doesn't end up getting too philosophical and cerebral with it. But I'm glad that he appreciates that aspect of the show.

Don't you see their bodies though? Just not their faces?
You're right! I wonder why so many tv shows have unseen characters and so few movies don't.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
So a poster came in marked BHC.
"What's BHC?" the snack bar cashier asked. "Are they making another Beverly Hills Cop?"
"I dunno," I said, "but I'd love to catch up with Axel Foley."
