Post here: Favorite Lauren Bacall movie

We shared our favorites of Robin Williams. Now it's time to share our favorite of one of our greatest Hollywood Screen legends - the late great Lauren Bacall.

Without a doubt, my favorite (and one of my favorite films of that era) - "How to Marry a Millionaire". Bacall was great as the brains behind the operation of three single ladies (Bacall, Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable) all trying to snag a millionaire. Moral of the story - do NOT judge a book by it's cover. It's a great screwball comedy.

Such a stylish era I wish I could walk right through the screen and live in that world, like in an episode out of the Twilight Zone The Big Sleep was chock full of beautiful women, most of all the charismatic Ms. Bacall.

I loved the ensemble of actresses from back in the 40s. They had great chemistry on screen.

Though my favorite is Stage Door, which was not a Lauren Bacall movie.

A funny oldie, about a wolf who watches Bacall in to Have And Have Not and goes completely nuts for her in the theater. You have to click the link as it's not from youtube.
