DVD Review: ‘Humphrey Bogart: The Essential Collection’ is Fantastic
Submitted by BrianTT on October 19, 2010 - 10:56amCHICAGO – Having written about DVDs for years, I’ve been lucky enough to receive and buy dozens of star-centered box sets: collections of films based around an actor or director ranging from Bette Davis to Mel Brooks.
