Did Bogart die before filming was finished?


Just wanted to know if there were any scenes that were not shot or had to be re-shot as a result of Bogart's passing.

Though released in 1956, I believe principle photography on THTF was completed in late 1955. Bogart filmed all the scenes and did all the post=production work he had to do on this movie.

Humphrey Bogart died on January 14, 1957 -- 57 years ago today -- three weeks after his 57th birthday. In three weeks from this post (on Feb. 4, 2014), Humphrey Bogart will have been dead for as long as he lived. Time passes.

Bogie actually did some costume tests for what was to have been his next picture, a comedy to be called Melville Goodwin, U.S.A, co-starring his wife, Lauren Bacall, in early 1956. It was after that that his cancer was diagnosed, and even after surgery it became clear he was dying. The film he never made wound up starring Kirk Douglas and Susan Hayward and was called Top Secret Affair, released in 1957.
