 yes please !   Bogie doesn't seem to mind either the role he's been assigned in 1939's The Return Of Doctor X or touching up his own makeup on-set, approaching both tasks with good sportsmanship. The film is certainly an outlier among the Bogart oeuvre, and he may seem out of place only in retrospect to we later generations who became familiar with his more typical screen persona from the totality of his work. But I must say this: the twitchy intensity he displays as Marshall Quesne/Dr. Xavier fits right in with the atmosphere, and had his career gone in a different direction (and we can all be grateful it didn't), it's easy to get the impression he could have been just as successful as character players like George Zucco, Lionel Atwill and Karloff himself in horror/sci-fi/mad scientist "B" features. He plays it with all the sincerity and commitment needed to sell it, and just large enough to suit such fantastical genres while still avoiding camp. Two interesting parallels: Karloff had played more than one underworld-type character in early sound films like Smart Money, Scarface and Night World, not at all far from the sorts of supporting roles Bogart so often played during his first decade in films; three years prior to Bogart's '39 film, Karloff had done The Walking Dead for the same studio, which covered some of the same "scientific revival of the dead" territory, and with a very similar makeup approach.  Yup, our beloved Bogie could have been a very effective bogeyman.

Bogart with his mother: Maud  Maud Humphrey (March 30, 1868 – November 22, 1940) was a commercial illustrator, water colorist, and suffragette from the United States. She was the mother of actor Humphrey Bogart and frequently used her young son as a model. Humphrey was born in Rochester, New York in 1868 to John Perkins Humphrey and Frances V. Dewey Churchill. She studied at the Art Students League of New York and in Paris at the Julian Academy. She married Dr. Belmont DeForest Bogart (1867–1934); they had one son, Humphrey, and two daughters. She won a Louis Prang and Company competition for Christmas card design and then began working for the New York publisher Frederick A. Stokes Company as an illustrator. From the 1890s through the 1920s, her work Included child portraits, "illustrating calendars, greeting cards, postcards, fashion magazines, and more than 20 story books." She earned more than $50,000 a year while her husband's surgical practice brought in $20,000 a year. E. Richards McKinstry of the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library has addressed rumors that Maud Humphrey used her son as the model for the Gerber Products logo illustration by observing that this illustration was not created until Humphrey Bogart was an adult — and that Maud Humphrey was not the illustrator who created it.
Maud Humphrey died in 1940 and was interred in the Columbarium at Forest Lawn Memorial Park
A sample of her work:  Not Bogey as it's dated 1891 which is before his birth. It is said that she used two year old Humphrey as a model for an ad for Mellin's Food ("for babies and invalids")in 1901. Link to more Maud Humphrey Bogart artwork |

With 3-D printers that could be possible!

cynthiagreen The seated Lorre doll figure looks more like Lorre than the Bogart dolls look like Bogart. I really like that one... young was a good look for him. The first Bogart dolls figure looks more like a cross between Chevy Chase and George W. than it looks like Bogart.

Bogart seems to have been a fan...

I loved his acting for years, but when I was younger I didn't really get his sex appeal. It took a middle aged re-viewing of Dark Victory, and all at once it was like, 'uh-huh, oh yes, I get it now':  |
