Humphrey Bogart Movies-Best & Worst-With Box Office Results 1930-1956.
81Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre....my favorite Bogart film.
Did you know that the American Film Institute ranked Humphrey Bogart as the greatest male star in the history of American cinema? Bogart however did not find an easy road to the title of greatest male star ever. After trying numerous jobs including playing chess for money(check out this hub on Bogart the chess player), he turned to acting in 1921. He found regular work on Broadway through the rest of the 1920s. When the Great Depression reduced the demand for plays, he turned his attention to movies. His first full length film was 1930's Up the River which was directed by a very young John Ford and co-starred Spencer Tracy(also his first film). His first movie contract with Fox Films was terminated when they concluded he was not star material. Shortly there after he signed with Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers gave Bogart plenty of work from 1936 to 1940. He would appear in twenty movies in that time frame, almost all the movies were low budget B movies. He did manage to get strong notices from two of the movies made during this time....1936's The Petrified Forest and 1937's Dead End. So by the end of the 1930s, Bogart either appeared as the one of stars in horrible low budget film, or as the 3rd or 4th lead in a higher budgeted movie. In the higher budgeted movies he would usually get the cowardly bad guy role and James Cagney would kill him before the end of the movie.
Two films in 1941 changed everything for Bogart. High Sierra was a surprise hit, it did very well at the box office and critics loved the movie and proved Bogart could carry a film. Later that year The Maltese Falcon was released to even bigger box office and an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. After the success of those two films, Bogart found himself in better movies. In 1943 he appeared in his greatest film, Casablanca. Bogart's role of Rick in Casablanca would cement his trademark film persona, that of the hard-boiled cynic who ultimately shows his noble side. Bogart would appear in 29 more movies from 1943 to 1956, all of which were big budget and he was always the star. Some of his greatest success during this time would include 1944's To Have and Have Not(his first film with 4th wife Lauren Bacall), 1951's African Queen(won Oscar for this movie), 1954's The Caine Mutiny(his biggest box office hit) and 1956's The Harder They Fall(his final movie).
Humphrey Bogart passed away in early 1957 after a battle with cancer. John Huston's eulogy says it all... "He is quite irreplaceable. There will never be another like him."
Humphrey Bogart in his biggest box office hit The Caine Mutiny....would have earned 330.7 million in 2011 dollars.

Bogart in The Return of Dr. X.....his 2nd worst movie according to Movie Score....worst movie Swing Your Lady.
The Worst of Humphrey Bogart:
Let's take a quick moment to look at two of Bogart's worst movies. Don't worry you Bogart fans he thought these two movies were horrible too.
1937's Swing That Lady: Bogart plays a wrestling promoter who brings his wrestler Joe, to the Ozarks, to wrestle a female hillbilly Amazon named Sadie Hills....naturally Bogart falls in love with Sadie and they all live happily ever after in this musical comedy.....Bogart's thoughts on this movie...."It's a stinker"
1938's The Return of Dr. X: Bogart's only science fiction movie....he plays a mad evil genius doctor who figures out a way to bring the dead back to life. For some reason Bogart refused to talk about this movie later in his life.

Hey Rob....I agree 100% with you about him in Treasure of the Sierra Madre...he was awesome as the anti-hero in that movie and that Maltese Falcon is a classic.....as for him being voted number one....I can see moving him down....if only because his career as a top star was so short...pretty much 1941-1956....compared somebody like Clark Gable(30 years) and Gary Cooper(30+ years)...thanks for reading as always.
"The shtuff that dreamsh are made of" Bogart and Monroe, the two most iconic stars in Hollywoods history and the most caricatured, no one else comes close.
"Here's looking at you kid" I'm glad Casablanca is no.1 on your score list Cogerson, it's my favourite Bogart film, favourite 1940's movie and favourite B/W movie. :)
I have 35 of Bogies films here in the collection according to my database, other favourites include The Big Sleep, Maltese Falcon, Key Largo, Caine Mutiny, African Queen and Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
Looking at your hub has got me in the mood to watch these classic films again. Have a Bogart season... hmmm
Voted up and useful.
Hey Steve....I agree it is time for some Bogart movies....I have a DVD of Maltese Falcon that I have not even opened since I bought it about 2 years ago....so had you ever heard of the movie Up the River?.....talk about some talent....Bogart and Spencer Tracy being directed by John Ford. It is hard to argue Casablanca as anything other than number one....it scored the highest critic score, his second biggest box office hit, he got his first Oscar nomination, and the picture won Best Picture....tough numbers to beat....and it is a great movie. Thanks for reading.
I don't have Up the River, 1930? wow I didn't know he was around then. The oldest film I have with Bogie in is The Petrified Forest and Bullets or Ballots (which isn't on your list btw) both 1936.
Hey Steve I have added Bullets or Ballots....I left a few of his 1930 movies off due to lack of information and his low billing in the movies....but I did find some info on Bullets....he made 5 movies with Edward G. Robinson....pretty sure this was the first one....anyway Bullets or Ballots comes in at #40.....also Up The River was the movie with Bogart, Tracy and John Ford direction....thanks for reading.
Very nice. Here is a Bogart story for you. When I was a kid I was watching Play It Again Sam by Woody Allen, i thought the guy playing Bogart was the real Bogart, it was not till years later did I realize Bogart was long gone by the time Woody Allen made the movie. Since then I have seen a few of his movies. I however did not really like Casablanca, I thought it was kinda boring. Although it looks like you are back to the old dead guys, lol.
I honestly haven't seen one Bogart movie. My enjoyment of movies from the 50's and 60's are seemingly very rare. I really do need to give at elast Casablanca a look see though.
Thanks for checking in YankeesRule......yep I went back to the old dead guys....but Bogey is someone who needed a hub....funny story about Play It Again Sam....I can see how a kid could get that confused....and finally you are one of the few people I know that did not like Casablanca....thanks for the comment
Hey Matt in Jax.....Bogart has some classic movies....I would say a great movie to start with would be The Maltese Falcon....and then Casablanca ....those two should give you a great idea of his acting style and they are both considered classics....Casablanca actually won the Oscar for Best Picture....thanks for the comments
Voted up and awesome other then that I'm clueless with Bogey! Very informative :))
Bogie was the man, not bad for an ugly looking man, hey I am a poet and did not even no it. My favorite Bogie movie is the Caine Mutiny, he played a great disturbed captain. Nice hub.
Interesting Cogerson - I've seen a few of his flicks (The Maltese Falcon was my fav). I wonder why he wouldn't talk about the Return of Dr. X? Hmmm. Any who - great hub!
Nice hub, Bogart is the defintion of cool, he made a great detective and you have to love him in Casablanca. Voted up
My favorite is The African Queen, followed closely by Casablanca. Could there be two more diverse characters than Rick and Charlie, yet both played so well?
Great Hub!
I am afraid I do not know much about him, but thanks for giving me some knowledge.
Hey hinton funny comments.....Caine Mutiny is a great movie...I love Fred MacMurray's role......the quiet villian in the movie....thanks for commenting..
Hey Shaun....I agree 100% he is the definition of cool, I watch Casablance every 5 years or so and it gets better each year.
Hey Realhousewife.....I think Bogart was pretty much ashamed of some of the movies Warner Brothers made him do...back then you signed a contract for seven years and then the studio told them what movies to make.....somebody at Warners decided he was best in cheap low budget movies that Bogart hated appearing in.....during the same time frame other studios tried to borrow Bogart for higher profile roles....but Warner Brothers refused and stuck in movies like The Return of Dr. X ....which needless to say made Bogart a little upset.....thanks for commenting and reading the hub
Hey WillStarr....those are two great movies.....and you are correct they show Bogart's acting chops.....they are two of the three movies he received his Oscar nominations for....the other being The Caine Mutiny...thanks for reading my hub.
You are welcome AlabamaGirl.....he was a great actor....you should check out some of his greatest hits....movies like Casablanca and Maltese Falcon are great movies...thanks for commenting.
Bogey was a great actor, Cogerson, and, as usual, you've done a fantastic job here. His performances in "Casablanca," "The African Queen" and "The Caine Mutiny" alone put him at the top of the list. But I'm surprised his performance in "Sahara" gets so little attention. He was fabulous -- and so was the movie. I only wish these great movies would be re-run on the big screen today (That would bring me back to the theaters in a hurry.)
Thanks for stopping by William....Sahara ended up 12th which considering some of his great movies is not so bad....I do not think I have seen all of Sahara....I will have to add that to my list of movies to watch....I appreciate the compliment.....I think The Maltese Falcon would be awesome on the big screen.
As always, you've done an excellent job compiling the works of old Bogey. I don't know what it is about Humphrey. Maybe he was just too homely for my taste. :)
up/useful
Great job! He was a unique character...one of a kind!
Hey, I voted up and useful - I liked Bogie but have not seen most of the older movies. I really liked Casablanca - IT'S A CLASSIC. I, for one, liked Sabrina and the newer one with Harrison Ford. He was a very good actor in my opinion...too bad he was not around a few more years - who knows what he might have done...
Thanks for the compliment Fay, I would say he was the most homely looking superstar to ever appear in movies. His appearance is probably the main reason it took almost 11 years and 40 movies for him to hit the big time...thanks for stopping by.
I agree Radioguy....he was one of the most unique characters in the history of movies...thanks for the comments.
Thanks for commenting....I guess you were on your Montreal blackout when it came to watching Bogart movies....I think if you look at the top 5 on the Movie Score list you will see 5 classic movies worth watching for the first time or a repeat viewing...thanks for reading my hub.
Cogerson - don't tell anyone I said this - but I don't even think Bogart was that cute:) He was a great actor, no doubt but he did not ring my bell! LOL
I caught a little of Maltese Falcon last night, and I started thinking about your damn hub and it is baseball season!
Another great hub Cogerson, very educational for someone who knew very little about him other than the name, voted up and useful
Thanks for commenting RealHousewife....I wonder which current actor is the closet to Bogart....great actor but not ringing many bells....maybe Steve Buscemi or Adam Sandler....interesting idea.
Well what the heck has happened to Gary Busey? Or Keefer Southerland?
Thank you KellyE....I am glad I could help you learn a little more about him....thanks for stopping by
Hey YankeesRule...I am glad my hub is in your mind....lol....there has to be something other than baseball in that mind....thanks for stopping by
Hey RealHouseWife.....let's see most recently Gary Busey was on Celebrity Apprentice....but he got fired by Trump.....while Sutherland was on a tv show call the Confessionists.....not sure if it is still on.....Busey is kinda crazy now.....at least that is the impression he seems to work real hard on....and it works.
I can't remember too many of his movies, the African queen stands out as i've seen it countless times. I've got cloudy memories of James Cagney dusting him up. James Cagney thought he was a bit of a pussy in real life and didn't have much time for him off the set. He was a big name during my childhood though and his movies have stood the test of time. Cheers
Hey attemptedhumour....I think I read the same book where Cagney talked about Bogart.....during the timeframe Cagney and Bogart worked together...Bogart's third wife....really kept an eagle eye on Bogie.....which caused lots of turmoil.....African Queen is a classic...thanks for reading and commenting
Another great hub! While I like most of Bogart's best films, I've never understood the popularity of 'Key Largo' or 'To Have and Have Not.' As for homely-looking leading men, I put Bogart in the same league as Walther Matthau. You would never guess these guys were matinee idols. And the stories of his whining while making 'African Queen' on location are legendary.
Thanks for the compliment BoomerFlicks....I agree with you about Key Largo...I have seen it twice and both times I was more than a little bored.....as for To Have and Have Not....that one I like....if only because the chemistry Bogart and Bacall....the stuff legends are made off....Matthau and Bogart....interesting.....I would have never put them together but now that I think about it....I see your point...thanks for the comments
I was reading an interview with Hugh Hefner today in the latest issue of Total Film magazine. He loves classic movies and his 3 favourites all star Bogart - Casablanca, To Have and Have Not and The Maltese Falcon. His favourite film as a kid was King Kong.
It is good to know Hugh has good taste in movies as well as women.....I think I need to re-watch To Have and Have Not......I have seen it one time and that was almost 25 years ago. At I was at my son's college library this weekend and I found a book about 1930 movies.....glancing through it....I found a three page story pictures story about Black Legion.....so thanks for mentioning that one so I could put that one in the list of his movies.
Black Legion was an unusual potboiler and worth a watch.
Bogart, like John Wayne was acting throughout the 1930's before becoming a star in the 1940's. Bogart was a popular bad guy until John Huston's The Maltese Falcon (1941) spoilt everything and turned him into a hero [wink].
While John Wayne appeared as a cowboy hero in a hundred b-westerns before John Ford's Stagecoach (1939) made him an A-lister. The biggest star of them all.
I will try and find that one, I find finding A budget movies of the 1930s hard enought but an even bigger challenge is finding 1930s B budget movies(Wayne made about 75 Bs while Bogart had about 25 B movies).....currently watching The Adventures of Robin Hood on blu-ray.....I really like my local library...they starting carrying blu-ray....just for me.....lol....
Glad to see Treasure of the Sierra Madre is your favourite Bogart movie. It's got a great theme about greed and paranoia, and stirring music. It's one of my four favourites along with African Queen, Key Largo and The Caine Mutiny. I can understand why Bogart is rated so highly - he was no cardboard cut-out glamour boy; he was both a box office star and a proper actor who was happy to play traditional heroes, traditional villains, or real, complex characters (as in some of the films I've just mentioned). I believe he also developed something of a cult following long after his death.
Thanks for stopping by Greensleeves Hubs....I like the opening of the movie when Bogart keeps begging money off of John Huston the director in Treasure of the Sierre Madre. I wonder with his looks what kind of movies he would get now a days......I can not see him being a leading man....he would probably be a supporting actor the way things were work in Hollywood now....but thank goodness he was able to leave behind such great performances.
I think Bogart is the closest thing to Pacino. I like your articles. I am saving your address for future reading, very nicely done.
Thanks for the compliment IloveAl....and thanks for bookmarking my hub.....there are over 60 movie hubs already done and more to come
I always liked Bogart, certainly one of the greatest actors in the history of American cinema. He didn't act in many turkeys, did he? You forgot to put "Sahara" on the list, though I suppose it must be on one of your lists. How did you make them, with a spreadsheet of some kind? Very impressive. Later!
Thanks for stopping by and reading....Sahara comes in at #12 on the list of all his movies(the third table)....you can sort the movies via column headings ...which makes it much easier to find a movie if you sort by alphabetical order...as for how I make the spreadsheet....I have a access database where I put all the information into, then I download that file to hub pages.....the access database takes all the numbers and generates a number for each movie.....my wonderful wife designed the computer program which makes coming up with these lists much much easier.....as for Bogart I agree he did not make any turkeys after he became really famous in 1941.....I am sure there are many movies in his early 1930s that could be considered turkeys....thanks for the great compliment and for reading my hub.
Hey, Cogerson, I tried to include a math formula in one of my hubs and Hubpages wouldn't accept it, so I gave up on such projects. Regarding such, Access makes sense, since I thought perhaps you'd used Excel, which is another tremendous tool, of course. Later!
Hey Kosmo.....the access database does all the calculations before it goes to hub pages..the key for my access data....was to turn the report page to a CSV file, which hub pages recognizes....then it is simply a download and I am good to go.
I love Access - I worked at a sleep lab and insisted on switching from excel to access - it's amazing in comparison for making tables and graphs. Your wife must be a genius Cogerson!
Hey RealHousewife.....I always thought Excel was the bomb when it came to databases.....but my wife has shown me the error of my ways....lol. I showed her your comment....and she was like...."You have to approve this comment"....and yes she is one smart cookie who helps me so much doing some of hobbies...like hub pages.
That's awesome Cogerson! My husband and I work really well together too. It's a very cool thing because we are each grateful to each other in certain ways many couples aren't. Like I make his work day easier if I can running his business and he goes to the store a bunch for me;).You have a Cool wife for sure!
And smart - I am trying to convince Dave to use Access in our home business but he is really resistant to change. It would be hard to do but - at least I had the computer guy install it and I'll keep working on him;) Typical!
Thanks RealHousewife. I am glad you too work well together as well. I am very glad to report that my wife is very cool and smart......to me what makes a good marriage is how the strengths and weaknesses work together...in our marriage it has made us a great team...you can tell Dave....I thought Excel was the end all of programs....it has nothing and I repeat nothing on Access......a month of working on Access and he will never want to use Excel again....thanks for the comments.
You're welcome and thank you - I'm going to cut to the chase and let him read your comments:). Even my computer wiz told him that! Men! Hmpf;) lol
Hope it works....and even better way....take some information he uses every day and do a test case using access that shows its strengths....and then I think you will win him over.
Bogey was the man, I love the three Bogart/Bacall movies.
Nice writeup Cogerson.
I agree Tyler those three movies are classics, especially the first one....Key Largo gets the bronze medal compared to the other two...thanks for your comment
I have really enjoyed reading your take on classic movies, I do however think you need to organized your index better, it appears to be missing links as well as dead links. Bogart was my favorite actor growing up, I was sad to see him die so young but happy that his status has gotten better every year since his untimely death. My favorites would be Casablanca and In A Lonely Place. I will come back to read more of your classic actors. Till then. Richard E. Moody.
Thank you for the great suggestion Richard Moody, I need to update my index, that much is for sure. Hub pages kept flagging my hubs duplicated and my index was the culprit that was causing all the problems....but I will fix my index very soon.
As for Bogart....it was indeed very sad when he passed away so young....for what I read he would have lasted a lot longer if he would have gone to the doctor sooner....In a Lonely Place is a cult classic. thanks for reading my hub.
Great hub on one of my favorite actors. I rented Casablanca while searching out the many classic movies I hadn't seen. I found it interesting, the main theme seemed to me to be people can change for the better.
African Queen has one of the most powerful scenes, minus dialogue I have ever seen. It is the part just after bogart climbs onto his ship and finds himself covered with leeches. After cleaning them off and expressing his hatred of the vile creatures they go back to pushing on the poles to move through the swamp. The look Hepburn and Bogart exchange as they both realize what he has to do. It made me tear up.
At the end of Key Largo I though, if bogart wanted to he could sail that ship with all the money to cuba and no one would even look for him. haha.
Hey ruffridyer...thanks for the great comments on some of his classic movies....I just watched The African Queen on Blu-Ray talk about a much improved picture....it was awesome it was like watching a new movie...I also enjoy the scene between Bogie and Hepburn......I think if Bogart had gone to Cuba it would have made for a better movie....Key Largo is my least favorite of the Bacall/Bogart movies. Casablanca is a classic, the ending was only figured out right before they shot the famous final scene....thanks for reading and commenting on my Bogart hub.
I've seen almost all of Bogart's films now, including those where he had essentially bit parts
Regarding the Bogart/Bacall films, I rank them in this order:
To Have and Have Not
The Big Sleep
Key Largo
Dark Passage
I love mysteries and crime films and he starred in several classics. My favourites-besides Bacall films, are:
The Maltese Falcon
In a lonely Place
The Petrified Forest (he starred in the Broadway play)
The desperate Hours
Angels with Dirty Faces
Dead End
Deadline, USA
The Barefoot Contessa
Beat the Devil (unintentionally halarious in some places)
War films:
Casablanca
The Caine Mutiny
Other genres:
Sabrina
The African Queen
Hey FloraBreenRobinson....Bogart made a ton of great movies.....of the ones you listed I have seen them all except for Deadline USA. Beat the Devil is a very unusual movie....from what I have read....Bogart felt Huston had let him down by not having a better story in place when Bogart's company produced the film....Huston also felt bad that their last movie together was Beat the Devil.....Huston wanted to make The Man Who Would Be King with Bogart and Gable. But Bogart got sick and could not make the movie. Thanks for checking out my Bogart hub.
@Cogerson...Surprise, surprise, "The Caine Mutiny" on top of his box office hits.
"Casablanca" did become a classic with later audiences, I guess. Bogie did a lot of dark films -- "The Harder They Fall", "They Drive By Night", "The Desperate Hours", "The Roaring Twenties", "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", etc. He also showed a romantic-comedic side with Hepburn in "The African Queen", which I thoroughly enjoyed for its on-again, off-again romance.
And of course, with Bacall, the chemistry was unmistakable -- "To Have and Have Not".
I could stay on these movie columns all day! Enjoyable and fun!
Hey Barbsbitsnpieces...glad you are enjoying my classic career movie hubs....I find that I enjoyed writing the older actors more than the current...if only because the information is harder to find and those almost fresher information. As for Bogey...I love his movies...especially some of the ones you mentioned like African Queen, To Have and Have Not and They Drive By Night.....as for Bacall it always fascinates me that Bogart's wife is still around and still appearing in an occasional movie...their screen chemistry is off the charts....thanks for stopping by.
I was watching TCM the other day. A movie called Crime Scene was on, and I am sure Bogart was in the cast, but cannot find it on any website. Was I wrong, and he was not in this movie?
Hey Sheryl....I rechecked Bogart's filmography...but I do not see a movie called Crime Scene....do you remember who else was in the movie with him....sometimes they change the name of a movie....and I am thinking it was probably made in the mid 1930s....when his movies were not classics that the later ones became....sorry I am not able to identify the movie.
Bogart was in a movie called "Crime School" in 1938. Maybe?
I think you might be correct William F. Torpey.....I am attaching the IMDB summary for you Sheryl....hope this was the movie.
"A gang of underprivileged teenagers are sentenced to serve two years in a reform school after almost killing a criminal fence who attacked them"
Thanks for the help William.
Yes,it was Crime School, I was mistaken. Thanks so much for setting me straight!
Hey Sheryl...you are very welcome....and thanks again William for figuring out the right answer.
Great hub. Bogart is probably my favorite classic actor. I could sit and watch those top-ten grossing films all day.
Hey KF Raizor.....I enjoy his movies as well.....ever since writing this hub I have been watching many Bogart movies for the first time and repeat viewings of some of his classics...The African Queen Blu-Ray is outstanding and makes it look like a brand new movie. I appreciate you stopping by and checking out my Bogart hub.
I finally published my Bogart poem, and wouldn't you know? This hub is in the related hubs section!
Excellent that you have a Bogart hub poem....on my way over there to check it out...glad my Bogart hub is one of the related hubs.
We will see if your hub remains there over time, or whether like with many of my acrostic hubs, my other acrostics end up the related hubs.
Update - nada. all the related hubs are now my acrostic poems. Too bad.
Hey Flora....I guess you have been writing too many acrostic poems...and they booted out my hub...it is ok....I forgive you....lol.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Great hub Bruce. Humphrey is one of my favourite actors. I like him in any of his detective movies but especially like him in The African Queen.
Hey Jools99....Bogart is the man....I have been watching many of his movies since I wrote this hub...it seems writing a hub on someone gets me motivated to watch and re-watch some of their movies. Recently I have watched In A Lonely Place, The Petrified Forest, Dark Victory and To Have and Have Not for the first time...and re-watched his classic movies Casablanca, Maltese Falcon and Beat the Devil.....all good to great performances by Bogart.

I remember when Bogie was voted the greatest male movie star ever. There was quite a bit of debate about it. (I wouldn't have put him quite that high either) BUt he was a huge star and he made a lot of movies. Unlike the leading men of today, he wasn't particularly good looking but he could still pull off the romantic lead. I love many of his films. "The Maltese Falcon" is probably my favorite Bogie film but "Casablanca" was his defining role. He made a good anti-hero--the bad good guy. I even liked him in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" where he played an unlikeable antagonist role.
