The Man with Bogart's Face
$9.99 DVD 1980

A witty, nostalgic noir spoof where a Bogart lookalike detective chases down a priceless treasure in a case filled with danger, double-crosses, and old Hollywood charm.

In the glitzy, unpredictable world of contemporary Hollywood, a man obsessed with classic film noir reinvents himself as his cinematic hero. Calling himself Sam Marlowe, he undergoes facial surgery to resemble the legendary Humphrey Bogart, and opens a private detective agency straight out of the 1940s. Business is slow at first, but everything changes after a publicized shooting lands Sam's photo in the paper.

Before long, Sam and his sharp-witted secretary Duchess find themselves tangled in a labyrinth of shady characters — all strangely reminiscent of figures from Bogart's most iconic films. At the heart of the mystery lies a legendary and priceless treasure: the Eyes of Alexander, a pair of flawless blue sapphires stolen from a statue of Alexander the Great.

What follows is a cleverly crafted, affectionate spoof of the gritty noir thrillers of Hollywood's golden age. Packed with double-crosses, tough-talking dames, and shadowy villains, this film delivers a loving tribute to Humphrey Bogart while poking fun at the clichés that made his movies unforgettable. A unique blend of mystery, comedy, and classic noir style, it's a nostalgic, tongue-in-cheek caper for film buffs and casual viewers alike.

Beautifully shot and tastefully executed, this film manages to honor Bogart's legacy while offering a lighthearted, engaging mystery with enough twists to satisfy fans of old-school detective tales.
