If I'm not mistaken, this was Bogart's last role, and a film I've wanted to see for quite some time!

The DVD cover is pretty sweet, too.

Is it the same poster or different art. It's cool when the old movies use original poster art... the posters were so awesome back then.

That still counts... it has to be original poster art from the movie release. They usually made several different posters for each film just like today. Here are all the posters I found. The art on that DVD is similar I bet it was something they had left over from the posters or maybe even a promo by one the same artists. You gotta love the foreign ones... "Couleur de Technicolor"! |

Good stuff. Some of the classics I have, like The Philadelphia Story, have original artwork

I hope there are enough of us (collectors) out there like you and me... so that they don't just completely do away with physical copies of movies. There is just something about going to my shelves of DVDs to browse through and find something I feel like watching... it's not the same to just download it.

My thoughts exactly. It's not going to be as fun having to scroll down a massive, massive list of movies with your remote control or mouse. At least, though, if downloading does take over, I'll probably have thousands upon thousands that I can still look for.
