montage of posters and lobby cards for the eight movies that Bogart made for Columbia pictures from 'Sahara' (1943) through to his final performance in 'The HarderTheyFall' (1957).
There are two documentaries included on the DVD. Firstly a brief look at the restoration process and digitisation of 'In A LonelyPlace.' Comparing pieces of the filmin the original Library of Congress print with the film on this DVD shows what an amazing job Pro-tek and Sony pictures did.
The second 'In a LonelyPlace Revisited' is an excellent documentary hosted by Curtis Hanson (Director of 'LA Confidential') from the building that inspired the main set from the movie. He discusses the relevance of the films title, the films story, Bogart's performance, Grahame's performance, Nicholas Ray's direction of the film, the differences between the film ...

Introduction
I found this filmin a box of stuff I brought home from overseas nearly three years ago and had never got round to opening. Unfortunately, there was nothing particularly exciting in the box, but I thought the film, which stars Humphrey Bogart, would be worth a watch. Had I known what the subject matter was, I would probably not have watched it - boxing is not something I particularly enjoy - but by the time I realised what it was about, I was already into the film. Compared to most Bogartfilms, this was definitely not his best, although it was the last film he was to make before his death.
The director

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with Disadvantages: none so far
I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis.
The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it ...
