Private Screenings: Lauren Bacall (2005)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Lauren Bacall sat down with host Robert Osborne for this installment of Turner Classic Movie's Private Screenings series. The first twenty-minutes of the movie deals with Bacall, her relationship with Humphrey Bogart and their films TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, THE BIG SLEEP, KEY LARGO and DARK PASSAGE. Fans of Bogart will certainly love this section as Bacall talks about how they met, the rules he laid down before marrying her and the final section of his life. Being a fan of Bogart you can help but love all of this stuff. Also talked about is her relationship with Frank Sinatra plus working with Kirk Douglas, Monroe and Gregory Peck among others. This is a really nice interview as Bacall shows some sides of her many might not have seen and that's vulnerability. Hearing how she isn't so sure of herself was rather amusing considering all the strong roles she played throughout her career.
