At the front of the biography, Darwin Porter reveals that he was privy to first hand written accounts of Bogart's life, having had access to an abundance of letters and journal pertaining to his subject. What is uncanny, and perhaps a little hard to believe, is the explicit details contained in this salacious, but compelling recounting of Bogie's life. For any Bogart fan willing to peal away the sheen of varnish on the enduring star, this is a scandal sheet bar none. From his uppper middle-class upbringing--doctor father, artist mother--wherein alcohol and morphine were common addictions, to Humphrey's adolescent sexual longings, and forays into Broadway theatre, to his long slog to stardom in Hollywood, and numerous sexual exploits, this is one hotsy-totsy read (Porter's book also exposes the varied and frenetic amorous proclivites of many stars of his era.). Crack open the book and banish your illusions from your brain; keep an open mind; just go to! Don't be surprised when your eyeballs widen and roll in their sockets!
