The Bogart Collection (Casablanca/The Maltese Falcon/To Have and Have Not/The Big Sleep/The Treasure of the Sierra Madre) Reviews:
Not All the Absolutely Best of Bogart 
2009-02-23 - The Big Sleep was just that. With a mediocre plot, it is definitely not one of Bogart's best. The African Queen and Key Largo would make a perfect set along with Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Casablanca, and The Maltese Falcon. I would have bought that combination if only it were available.
Bogart Films 
2008-11-18 - The movies arrived in a timely manner, but since it is a gift and her birthday is not until January, I cannot comment on the movies at this time.
It would have been perfect with African Queen 
2005-03-11 - This collection would have been awesome if only it included The African Queen...it definitely has 5 of his best movies, but with African Queen, you get the best 6 movies of his career in one single pack! Now that, I would call his signature collection.
This is not bad though. Most of the so-called signature collections have so-so movines mixed with good ones. At least all the movies in this set are great gems. All 5 movies are very important movies of probably the greatest actor of Hollywood, 3 of the movies make AFI top 100 list (Cassablanca at #2, Maltese Falcon and Treasure of Sierra Madre, both in top 30) and the rest of the 2 are real close and are considered the part of classic film-noir. So if you don't mind spending 80 bucks for 5 DVDs and love the classic golden age of Hollywood, go for it.
THERE IS NO DELETED SCENE IN THE MALTESE FALCON 
2004-10-21 - There are no scenes deleted in The Maltese Falcon dvd. This patron also posted for TMF dvd itself. I quote: 'The deleted scene is the one whereby Lorre is given back his gun by Bogart, lorre then points it at Bogart yet again-and the dvd fades to black to prepare for the next scene. What is deleted is Bogart laughing at Lorre and saying "Go right ahead (laugh, laugh), You go right ahead" THEN fade to black.' That scene is most definitely in there. I just watched it to check.
This dvd set features five ESSENTIAL Bogart films. It's true that The Big Sleep, To Have And Have Not, and The Maltese Falcon could all do with some restoration --but I'd say that the flaws don't detract that much from the films themselves, and until that day comes this set is a must for the Bogart fan.
Humphrey Bogart is still considered by many to be the greatest movie star of all time. These five films are a brilliant testament as to why. I advise you to score.
Good collection, but wait 
2003-12-12 - All good movies, of course. Maltese Falcon and Big Sleep editions will probably be re-released as two disc sets in the future, the current dvd of Maltese Falcon has a messy look to it, and also has a missing scene ( inexcusable, really).
I would wait on this collection. Get Treasure and Casablanca two disc sets, individually, they are fan tastic...
