On the 14th January, 1957, Humphrey Bogart died of cancer, leaving behind an impressive film legacy, a famous widow (Lauren Bacall) and an eight-year-old son, Stephen. For Stephen, making sense of and peace with the father he lost at an early age has led him down a path of understanding that he now reveals. Along the way, he came up with surprising anecdotes involving Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis, John Houston, Audrey Hepburn, and Stephen Bogart's stepfather, Jason Robards that make the real Humphrey Bogart come vividly to life. Here is Humphrey Bogart: the pro's pro on the set and the Hollywood renegade off it; the man's man, the ladies' man, the hard worker, and the man who liked to drink too much; the husband in three roller-coaster marriages and finally one perfect match; the proud father and absentee parent; the good friend and even better enemy. Writing with the encouragement of his famous mother, Lauren Bacall, Stephen calls on his memories as well as the access he had to friends and colleagues of his father. The result is an intimate and personal profile of an enigmatic man whose tough image contrasted with very human ambitions and vulnerabilities.
