The 15 Best Humphrey Bogart Movies Ranked United Archives/Getty Images By Gino Orlandini/Jan. 25, 2022 7:54 pm EST Compared to the stars of today, Humphrey Bogart looked different.

Blunt didn’t return for the sequel, nor did Villeneuve return to the director’s chair. That certainly didn’t help in terms of building buzz but, for what it’s worth, both movies performed similarly from a financial perspective....
