Michael Curtiz directed Humphrey Bogart in eight films during their years of working in Hollywood. including Casablanca (1942). Their first film was Black Legion (1937) and their last We’re No Angels (1955). It is this final film that we will look at mostly because it is one of the few Christmas-themed films Bogart would make but it is also a rare comedy from a man noted for his tough-guy roles.
