Official trailer (+ poster) for Kathryn Ferguson’s doc film Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes, via YouTube:
“Kathryn [Ferguson] and Universal Pictures Content Group have made an amazing film that has the full endorsement of the Bogart Estate. Even 125 years after his birth on Christmas Day in 1899, my father remains an American icon whose quotes and achievements permeate our culture. However, whether you are a big Bogart fan or whether you are only vaguely aware of the guy in the trench coat and the fedora, this film will educate you, entertain you, and change your perspective. The Bogart Estate is very proud of Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes.” –Stephen Bogart (his son)
