No actor from Hollywood's golden years shine brighter than Humphreyt Bogart, yet initially his career moved slowly. He had some minor theatre roles in the 1920s and in 1930 he came to Hollywood, where his breakthrough was “The Petrified Forest” from 1936, a role he had also played on stage. After this he occupied a number og gangster roles, but it was only when he placed himself on the right side of the law that he became “the real Bogart”: A tough individualist and a romantic idealist cleaning up in a corrupot world.
This is an original American b/w press photograph from 1939, which shows surface marks and creases. Furthermore normal signs of handling. Back with some discolouration due to ageing/storage conditions.
