Hollywood's Original Dynamic Duo
Hollywood’s Original Dynamic Duo Humphrey Bogart and John Huston will forever be associated primarily for three classic films they made together; " The Maltese Falcon ," (1941), “ Treasure Of The Sierra Madre " (1948), and " The African Queen " (1951). In all Bogart appeared in six films that were written and directed by Huston, a seventh, " High Sierra " (1941), was written by Huston,however, because he left Hollywood to serve with director Frank Capra's World War Two film unit, Raoul Walsh directed Bogart in the film that launched his film career. Despite not directing, Huston's brilliance can be felt throughout, especially his treatment of the complex character, Roy Earle - a well known criminal and killer with a surprisingly soft heart. Bogart's second billing, behind Ida Lupino , showed his status as filming began on the movie that would elevate him from B movies and minor roles to bona-fide Hollywood stardom. Bogart and Huston
