Humphrey Bogart hits Blu-ray this October

Good news for classic film fans. Humphrey Bogart gets a huge Blu-ray push this fall when Warner Home Video releases classics “The Maltese Falcon” and “The Treasure of Sierra Madre” on the format for the very first time.

At the same time, WHV also is releasing “Humphrey Borgart: The Essential Collection,” which presents 24 Bogart movies on 12 discs.

The bonus features on “Falcon” and “Sierra Madre” are pretty much the same as they were for their snazzy DVD editions, but those were quite extensive, seeing as they got a three-disc treatment at the time.

The real highlight just might be the deep Bogart collection.  The actor has been the subject of several compilations - “Bogie and Bacall” presented four of his movies with Lauren Bacall and there were several “Humphrey Bogart: The Signature Collection” volumes - but there's been nothing like this.

“Essential Collection” contains “The Petrified Forest” (1936), “Black Legion” (1937),  “Kid Galahad” (1937), “Marked Woman” (1937),  “San Quentin” (1937), “The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse” (1938), “Dark Victory” (1939), “The Roaring Twenties” (1939), “Invisible Stripes” (1939), “Brother Orchid” (1940), “They Drive by Night” (1940), “Virginia City” (1940), “All Through the Night” (1941), “High Sierra” (1941), “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), “Casablanca” (1942),  “Across the Pacific” (1942), “Action in the North Atlantic” (1943), “Passage to Marseille” (1944), “To Have and Have Not” (1944), “The Big Sleep” (1946), “Dark Passage” (1947), “Key Largo” (1948), and “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” (1948). There's also a documentary on Warner Bros., “The Brothers Warner.”

The collection also comes with a photo-book (a Warners Home Video standard on these things) in addition to fifteen photo cards plus archival studio correnspondence, like a telegram from Bogart to producer Hal Wallsi requesting the lead in "High Sierra."

Bogie hits Blu-ray October 5. That same time, TCM will also play a slew of his movies on TV.

It seems that David Goyer has been overwhelmed by the superheroes. I mean first Batman and now Superman, but I would like to add is that he is best at this and would be interesting to see what twist does he have in his mind for Superman after an interesting one for Batman.

Notice that the Chinese know how to do a stimulus package, while no one in power seems to know how to do a stimulus package here in the US.
