Stephen Bogart, son of legendary actor Humphrey Bogart, attended the screening of his father's most famous movie, "Casablanca" at the Smithsonian Muesuem this past weekend. The film, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, was the first film played this past Friday night at the new Warner Bros. theater at the National Museum of American History. The screening was also followed by three of Humphrey Bogart's other films, as well as his "Casablanca" suit being put on displayed for visitors to see. Stephen Bogart remembered his father very warmly that night, recalling that although he didnt get to know him very well (Bogart was 8 years old when his father died), he did said that his father was a very humble man, who was proud of his success, and would've been quite shock to know that his work was being displayed at the prestigious Smithsonian.
The American Film Institute has ranked Humphrey Bogart as the greatest male legend of all time.
The newly built Smithsonian Warner Bros. theater will also showcase Clint Eastwood films this June, along with a Civil War genre film festival to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the American war this upcoming October.
