Proud to celebrate the 70th anniversary of John Ford's masterpiece THE SEARCHERS with @MahoningDIT on June 21! I cannot wait to see this film in 35mm. I'll be introducing the film on what is sure to be a stunning summer night. For tickets and more info: events.ticketleap.com/tickets/mahoni…

Bogart also starred in the 1951 film THE AFRICAN QUEEN, and while it has nothing to do with the Florida Keys one of the two boats used in the film is docked in Key Largo and available for cruises. Both films were directed by John Huston.

For reference, Humphrey Bogart starred in the 1948 film KEY LARGO. It was almost entirely filmed at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. Bogart was never at the Caribbean Club in Key Largo, but why ruin a good story?

Wanted to have a drink with Humphrey Bogart in the Florida Keys. Turns out, Bogart probably never visited the real Key Largo. Also, he died in 1957. So no luck, but the African Queen is here! #HumphreyBogart #FloridaKeys #KeyLargo

@R_ViewMovies That’s what I thought!

@ChrisMcKit That's quite the image!

This is an incredible piece of album artwork. Bela Lugosi (armed with a revolver and knife) battling Alfred Hitchcock (armed with a noose and a syringe of blood) in a radio studio. The LP includes vintage radio programs featuring both silver screen legends.

In a 1989 interview with USA Today, Vera Miles said of her work with John Ford, "If I were to go back and look at the films, I think the most joyous and creative times were the John Ford films… They were high points for me.”

John Ford's THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE premiered in nine theaters #OTD in 1962. Vera Miles starred opposite Hollywood heavyweights John Wayne and James Stewart in one of the greatest westerns of all time. #JohnFord #JohnWayne #VeraMiles #JamesStewart
