In a Lonely Place on 02-17-2019


Bogart had a vertical scar on the right of his top lip, which is the place he notched his cigarette. The story is that when he was in the Navy, he was charged with transporting a prisoner. When changing trains, the handcuffed prisoner asked for a cigarette. Bogart looked down for a match, the prisoner punched him in the face, and fled. So you can understand why Gloria Grahame’s such a relief, beyond the obvious.⠀
