Talk:Humphrey Bogart

Anyone know the context of the quote "The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind"?

Birthdate

The encyclopedia article provides strong, sourced evidence that his birthday was indeed 12/25, and that the idea that this was a romantic fiction for the purpose of publicity is itself completely false. You know, some people are actually born on Christmas. They don't juse close down the obstetric wards at midnight on the 24th. 65.190.89.154 19:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
