When I started Film Studies I thought there were so many films I had to watch as they were such talked-about classics. This was one of them. I felt like I had to like it and to this day I’m not sure if my thoughts on the film were based on preconceptions and how everyone has to love it. Still, the film led me to discover more classics and Bogart films as my DVD copy had an amazing featurette about Bogart starring Lauren Bacall. They are one of my all-time favourite on-screen duos
