“I don’t know how far you can go.” “A lot depends on who’s in the saddle.”” SHE’S TALKING ABOUT GETTING FUCKED BRO. THEY WORKED AROUND THE FACT THEY COULDNT EXPRESS VULGARITY BUT IT’S STILL THERE SIMMERING BENEATH THE SURFACE. WANT THE OLD DAYS BACK? WELL MAYBE SHOVE A HARDPRINT EDITION OF THE HAYES CODE UP YOUR ASS AND MAYBE THATLL DO THE TRICK.
@@holygoalie3 thank you for giving me a stroke from laughing 😂. This movie and this scene are still legendary though, like you said the themes are still there but the way they're presented and the fine dialogue is something that's very appealing and lost in modern filmmaking
@@ooperblownup I get what you mean. The same kind of wit isn't really around today, but at least those movies are very accessible today. Like I wouldn't want to give up The Wolf of Wall Street just to have 100 Some Like It Hots be made.
What a line! Not so subtle and yet not beyond the pale. A perfectly sexy extended metaphor with a naughty denouement. " A lot depends on who's in the saddle." Love it...RIP, Beautiful.
This movie was released in 1946. It was made in 1945. Bogart and Bacall were married in1945. This scene was shot just days after they first got married. The sexual banter was real, and it was hard for them to keep a straight face as they were shooting it. I always loved them together in movies. I wish Bogart had been well enough to make the last one together that they were working on just before he past away. They were so good together ❤️.
Young as Lauren Bacall was when this movie was made, she had the voice and the chops to handle this dialogue with the experienced Humphrey Bogart. I love this movie and every movie they appeared in together!
The chemistry was off the charts, but my favorite thing about Bogey was how hard he would be with the beautiful leading ladies in these movies (i.e the Big Sleep, To Have and Have not, Maltese Falcon). He wouldn’t take any BS but still not be a jerk. A fine line and he walked it perfectly.
Always remembered her as, a classy lady loved her look and her movies. Now Baby and Bogie are together again. Rest in peace Lauren Bacall. You will truly be missed condolences to your family.
In her autobiography, Lauren Bacall revealed that during this filming, Bogart confessed to her that he returned to his wife, Mayo Methot, to give it another shot. They separated prior to it and he was already having an affair with Bacall. Bacall was distraught and in so much tears, that producers had to give her ice to press on her face to reduce the redness. The rest of filming was tough. My goodness, it was so hard to tell how awkward it must've been for them while filming this. Brilliant acting!
She was in love with him. They paired well together. Bacall also gave Bogie the peace and happiness he never had with his previous wives (one tried to bite his ear off and the other would just hit him when he was drunk). It was a rough start, but they were happily married.
+B. AKA She never had a father around. She confessed that he was a father figure to her. I really think that was the basis of their relationship. It wasn't "true love", which naturally includes monogamy, but more a deep caring and understanding of each other (huge faults and all since Bogey was not only an adulterer, but also a drinker) that kept them together, I believe. It was a very deep friendship that just happened to include marriage and lovemaking lol.
It is so simple to see. Bacall married him for his bank account. That way she could travel make a fortune on films and still have affairs. She admits while Bogie was dying of cancer, she was in bed with Sinatra. That is in her autobiography. Read IT !!
I despair when I watch day-time and evening television (the successor to film these days, sadly) and the talentless clots that appear in the many awful lifestyle and drama programmes. I am so grateful for some of the film channels in the digisphere, where I can watch these classics. I wish that talent such as Bogie and Bacall would return to earth but don't hold out much hope. Thanks for posting this on RU-vid.
2:46 geez ... the very first time I saw this movie and Bacall says that line "Well, a lot depends on who's in the saddle." ... I just found it increidbly electrifying ... and I still do! Her voice; the setting; her eyes; the mood; her smile; the cigarette smoke .. the almost eerie soft jazz in the background ... gawd, what a scene.
Sadly, they only had four movies in which they acted together. To Have and Have Not and Dark Passage are my personal favorites, but the Big Sleep and Key Largo were barely edged out.
3:09 I remember the first time I ever saw this movie - and every single time since - that stone cold stare and those eyes on Bacall at that very moment! Chilling!
She acts way beyond her years! No actress that I have seen can be her age at this point and be mature! I can see why bogart liked her. She didn’t act like a child! She was very adult. You can’t hide adult. Professionalism. She absolutely beautiful and sophisticated
Humphrey Bogart was larger than life, unique. He was a world class drinker but not an alcoholic. Bogie masculine pride character in the movie Casablanca was outstanding. Bogie and Bacall: two legends with stunning chemistry were enjoying themselves on the silver screen.
"Why does it bother you so much?" Wouldn't it bother you "so much"? Bogie and Bacall set the screen on fire with style and romance. I can't think of many other actors and actresses that can match their chemistry. I only wish that they had made more films together.
Yes my kind of music. "I Guess I,ll Have To Change My Plan" music by Arthur Schwartz lyrics by Howard Dietz. You may have heard this number sung by Fred Astair
@@kennethslade8468 Thanks -- My kind of music as well! In addition, at 1:25, the pianist segues into "Blue Room" (1926, by Rodgers and Hart), and again at 3:35, into "You Go To My Head" (1938, J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie). (I realize that this reply is a bit late, but i thought it should be here just for the record.)
The dialogue, the choreography, the acting is just a different level. Modern audiences, it seems to me, wouldn't even detect the multiple nuance and plethora of double meanings in each sentence. It is my contention that the general public is shedding IQ points by the decade.
I love this movie!. From a moment when. The "way" you said what you said and "how" you said it conveyed a whole galaxy of "meaning". Just as vibrant and emotional as us. But a little more subtle and mature. Here's looking at you kids!. ♥️😎
There isn't a man or woman in Hollywood today that could hold a candle to either one of these two classy, solid, sexy (the truest sense of the word) people.
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall: THE GREATEST ONSCREEN COUPLE EVER!!!! RIP MR. & MRS. HUMPHREY BOGART. THEY ARE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN AT THAT GREAT MOVIE THEATER IN THE SKY!! :-)
This scene was a resort of an earlier scene that fell flat and all involved felt it needed a rewrite and a change of location. It saved Bacall's career and helped make this a classic.
Some people say THE BIG SLEEP is too convoluted to follow, but I say Bogart & Bacall (and composer Max Steiner, etc.) carry the picture, and so what if the plot is convoluted? It's always interesting! I first watched it on TV at my paternal grandparents' home--Granddad watched it with me, and we enjoyed it. Bogart investigates some shady underworld dealings, Bacall has her secrets, but those two obviously LIKE each other and have fun in this movie!
The scene in the book shop is just sheer bliss. Dorothy McGuire at her best with Bogie playing off of her to great effect. I have my doubts about whether her part in the film was ever given sufficient credit...just superb.
OMG! Why were the actresses back then so much more beautiful than nowadays. They also had so much more substance and presence! Just love Lauren Bacall!
The actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood were trained to pour on the glamour,esp. with films during war times. Today's actresses are more natural, except the implanted lafies
ALSO...notice how no movies these days would ever dare to be this quiet, patient and dialogue driven. Too much CGI, explosions, and scares these days...not what "films" are made of.
Mark Hazleton Nah, there are lots of movie out there that are this quiet, patient, and dialogue driven. It's just easier for people to complain on RU-vid than spend time looking for and watching those movies.
@@rhondagillespie8106 I think she means during that time period. And particularly among actors and actresses, news anchors and/or anyone else that would appear on television. Almost this ‘prestigious’ half American, half English accent.
Wonderful scene. The banter between Bogart and Bacall was added to the second-run cut of the film to capitalise on public awareness of the couple's offscreen affair (and to give Bacall more exposure, since she was under an expensive contract and her earlier films hadn't done good business).
All these people are dead in this movie , how life flies. Bacall was incredibly classy, what a dame . I did check some of them died young ,bogart of course 57 or so.
Note the parallel scene in "Chinatown," when the Faye Dunaway character meets the Jack Nicholson character in a posh club and tries to "sugar" him off. Bogie coolly refuses Bacall's bait because he's still on the case; Nicholson indignantly turns down Dunaway's offer because he doesn't like being played.
