The man with Bogart's face!

[Wild Root]

Any one here ever saw the 1980 film "The Man with Bogart's Face"? I just saw this movie and got the willies! This guy looks JUST LIIKE BOGART! He even sounds like him! It's CRAZY!

Here are some publicity shots for the film... no, that isn't the real Bogart, that part was played by Robert Sacchi, the funny thing about this film is they found a guy who looked like Bogart... there isn't any serous makeup enhancement, that guy just looks like Bogart!!! In the film, he even drives a 1940 Plymouth... it's a riot!

I saw that a long time ago. When was it made?
I agree, he does have that Bogart look that is for sure.
Another one that you might want to check out is the one by Tales from the Crypt. They actually use Bogart's real image in the episode, which was fairly easy since he plays a corpse through most of the episode.

[scotrace]

I saw that back when.

Too bad they stuck him in that stupid fat late-70's nectie.

I think you just edited that. Now I know it was a looooong time ago.
Where did you find the film on TV or video?

Yeah, I know... the ties were bad but, the suits he wore weren't bad copies for 1980... it's interesting they didn't dig up some original goods... at that time, vintage was easy to get and dirt cheap! But, that mug of his... dead ringer for Humphrey!

Nope, no edit done... you just don't like to read my posts. I saw it on video at my friend's place... all I know is I wanted his '40 Plymouth coupe!

Ok, what's going on...

Where are all the Bogart fans? I know we have like, alot here!

Wow! Look at that first photo. The guy does have a Bogey look going on.
I ahve not seen the film but will add it to my "must see" list.
Btw, is this the guy who played Bogey in Play it Again Sam? Woody Allen was in the film....

I picked up a copy a few years ago in the bargain bin, it's an amusing low budget film, I think paid about three bucks for my copy.

As I recall Sam Marlow's car could have used a valve job & a set of rings.

Yeah, that Plymouth needed a little work... it smoked like a chimney!

I enjoyed the movie, it was amusing as you put it, it's just such a trip that this guy looks so much like Bogart!

PS. How about a little compare the original to the look-a-like!

And in the second photo he has a Ben Gazzara look going on.

lol lol yeah!

Robert Sacchi was in "Blast from the Past" too. He was the dj in the nightclub.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

There is another guy, Jerry Lacey that does a Bogart look a like too.

I'm surprised no one mentioned George Raft being in The Man with Bogart's Face....I'll have to look through my box of old video tapes, and roll this one tonight.

 

[Wild Root]

So, has any one compared the two photos I posted? Is Robert like, the closest any one has seen to the real Bogart?

From what I remember Bogart's son looks a lot like him.
I will try to dig up a photo..

 

[Hemingway Jones]

The resemblance is uncanny! Though Bogie is, somehow, more handsome. Bogart carried that face well.

 

[Rick Blaine]

Something I'll bet you didn't know about Bogie... he was Black

fftopic: ... well not quite, but he was a descendent of either Anthony or Abraham van Salee who were among the earliest arrivals to 17th century New Amsterdam (NYC). In a number of documents dating back to this period, both are described as "mulatto". They were the sons of a Dutch seafarer by the name of Jan Jansen who had "turned Turk" and a concubine he had while trading in North Africa before his conversion to Islam.

They were the ancestors of the Vanderbilts, the Whitneys, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (daughter of "Black Jack" Bouvier) and Humphrey Bogart.

Thanks Root, I'll have to find a copy and check it out. I dig Bogart big-time.

 

[Wild Root]
