Humphrey Bogart (1899-1957) was an American actor whose career across more than 80 films made him one of the defining stars of Hollywood's Golden Age. He is best known for playing Rick Blaine in Casablanca (1942) and won his only Academy Award for The African Queen (1951). In 1999, the American Film Institute named him the greatest male star of classic American cinema.
An article on SlashFilm reminded that Casablanca maintains a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 135 critic reviews, making it one of the best-rated films in history.
Casablanca in 2024 again attracted the attention of viewers on the streaming platform Max, with commentators emphasizing its timelessness eighty years after its premiere.
The film Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) with Bogart was added to the American National Film Registry in 2024.
