... that you can watch Humphrey Bogart in a very rare television appearance on the Jack Benny show. He plays ( of course) a bad guy in a very funny sketch.
... Although this is a picture of the 1960's Rat Pack as most people know it (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop and Sammy Davis Jr.)the original Rat Pack dates back to the 1950's and included Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall, David Niven, Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant.

... If you miss seeing Humphrey Bogart you might enjoy watching him walk into a club to see Elton John play. Of course it's one of those commercials with dead people in it that we're not sure is a good idea. The Bogie images were clipped from the 1942 movie All Through the Night
