Made in collaboration with Humphrey Bogart's family and estate, Kathryn Ferguson's (Nothing Compares) doc is a honest, intimate account of the life of the greatest male star of American cinema history.

Set against the glitz and glamour of Jazz Age Broadway and Golden Age Hollywood, and framed around the five key women in Bogart's life - his mother and four wives, including his final marriage to screen icon Lauren Bacall - the documentary intricately weaves together the actor's most important relationships against a backdrop of world events which defined Bogart’s career trajectory and legacy.

Narrated in Bogart’s own words and using previously unseen archives, letters, and interviews from those closest to him, Ferguson's film definitively explores the impact of one of the most influential cinematic and cultural icons of all time.
