In The Man With Bogart's Face, an affectionate send-up of the Bogart detective films of the 1940s, Robert Sacchi plays a man who idolizes Humphrey Bogart so much he has his features altered to look ex... read more read more...actly like his idol. He then opens up a detective agency under the name Sam Marlowe (an amalgam of the names of Bogart's characters from The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep). Sam hires the Duchess (Misty Rowe) as his secretary ("She looked like Marilyn Monroe and made about as much sense as Gracie Allen") and "Sam Marlowe, Private Eye" is in business. Sam gets a meager response until a shooting puts his picture in the paper and business starts to flourish. Particularly attracted to Marlowe's services are a collection of characters -- Gena (Michelle Phillips), an attractive Gene Tierney type; Commodore Anastas (Victor Buono), a Greek shipping tycoon and Sidney Greenstreet lookalike; and the mysterious Mr. Zebra (Herbert Lom doing a Peter Lorre imitation). They are all trying to find the famous Eyes of Alexander -- a priceless set of stones from a statue of Alexander the Great. Also on hand are old Hollywood pros George Raft, Yvonne DeCarlo and Mike Mazurki. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    I know it's hard to believe, but this actor actually does look exactly like Humphrey Bogart! That's the main reason to see this movie, of course, but it's also a very funny mystery movie too. Towards the end it gets less funny, but in the end it's entertaining anyway.

    At first the movie is really funny, as it goes along the laughs are more sporadic, but the mystery is pretty interesting to try to figure out. I couldn't believe how much the main character played by Robert Sacchi looked like Humphrey Bogart, it was amazing. Overall a good movi... read moree, but I think it could have been better, more excitement and more laughs would have helped.
