Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

I lied. I voted for "I like most/all of these films," cuz YEAH.
Maltese Falcon, African Queen, Key Largo, Treasure of the Sierra Madre...
I think what surprised me was that there was more than one that I hadn't seen: Across the Pacific, In This Our Life, and Beat the Devil.
Time to see if I can find those movies, and watch them.

Humphrey Bogart was involved in a serious automobile accident during production of this film, which knocked out several of his teeth and hindered his ability to speak. John Huston hired a young British actor noted for his mimicry skills to rerecord some of Bogart's spoken lines during post-production looping. Although it is undetectable when viewing the film today, it is Peter Sellers who provides Bogart's voice during some of the scenes in this movie.

Yes. Seriously, Huston and Capote were totally taking the piss out of the adventure movie genre. Unfortunately, they didn't tell Bogie for some reason, and it shows. The rest of the cast is having a riot, though. It's been forever since I've seen it, but my big reaction was "WTF?".
