Bogart and Bacall by Joe Hyams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a good picture of Bogart's rise and his life with Bacall by a journalist who knew the both fairly well. The book is in three parts: an interleaved story of both principals' youth and rise, their marriage and collaboration, Bacall's life after Bogie. It was most interesting to me how Bogie's success was despite his own anti-social behavior throwing away opportunity and chances while living his adult life as a functional alcoholic.
