I am thrilled two of my personal favorites figure in that.
The first one is an easy pick. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. Need I say more ?
The second is probably a less known one. It again features Humphrey Bogart. And probably the most sultry actress to have appeared on film, Lauren Bacall. The movie is "To Have and To Have Not". The movie is filled with such crisp lines ("You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve?") but none better than this.
Lauren Bacall lands on Bogart’s lap and kisses him.He (smiling): What was that for?
She: Been wondering whether I’d like it.
He: What’s the decision?
She: I don’t know yet.
At this point she goes in for another; this time he kisses her back.
Finally she stands, gives him a sidelong glance and says, “It’s even better when you help.”
Now THAT kind of sexiness cannot be produced by no amount of skin-show. And there in lies its charm.
Gaaaawd ! Am I born in the wrong era or what ?
