He was about to release the movie, and he said to Bogie "Why would you say that?!" Bogie shrugged and said "Then don't ask me." He never played the schmoozing game. He was not into that at all.” IfsThinkingSaidCharacterLyingAsksGamesHouseForgetHonorProducersReleaseAsk MeRanTolerateScreeningSchmoozing Author:Lauren Bacall
